Working with 1 of 3 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ lb.), at a time, hold a long knife parallel to cutting board and cut in half, slicing along a longer side to divide into 2 thin cutlets. (They should be about ¼" thick. If too thick, cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or the back of a cast-iron skillet.)
