Step 3
Place your hand on top of the chicken breast. Slice into the middle of the meat (parallel to the cutting board). Open up like a book, then cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Pound with a heavy pan or mallet until ½-inch thick. Repeat with the other chicken breasts. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Set aside ¼ cup flour. Coat the chicken on all sides with the remaining flour, shaking off any excess. Heat a large drizzle of oil in another large pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, if necessary, sear the chicken 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside to rest, tented loosely with foil.
