All it takes is a little bit of muscle to flatten chicken breasts until they're about 1/4 inch thick. Because they are thinner, chicken breasts or thighs can be used for fast, easy recipes such as Chicken-Pesto Sandwiches (see Salads, Sandwiches and Pizza) and Lemon-Pistachio Chicken (see Stir-Fries and Skillet Meals). The flat, even shape is perfect for more elegant recipes that are rolled up with a filling, such as Oven Chicken Kiev (see Great Chicken Classics). It's easy to do using one of our methods below.
1. Place chicken breast between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Using flat side of meat mallet, pounder or a rolling pin, gently pound chicken breasts until they are 1/4 inch thick. (See left side of picture.)
2. Place chicken breast between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Using heel of your hand, apply firm pressure (pounding lightly, if necessary) to chicken breasts, pressing until they are 1/4 inch thick. (See right side of picture.)
