- The chicken breasts we used were large (3 chicken breasts = 2 1/3 pounds). If the chicken breasts you are using are also large cut them in half to get 6 pieces.
- Place the chicken breasts in a zippered bag. Use the side of a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken breasts to 1/2" thickness throughout so they cook evenly. 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
Bread the Chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place 1/4 cup butter in a 9x13" baking dish and place it in the oven for the butter to melt while the oven heats. 1/4 cup salted butter
