chicken breast or thighs. You can accomplish this by gently pounding out the chicken with a meat mallet (cover the meat with plastic wrap or parchment) or using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken into two chicken halves. I must say, I’m not the best at this method so I usually use a meat mallet and pound the chicken however thin I need it.
I didn’t have lemon pepper spice on hand so I improvised. So I made my own and this way I can monitor the salt amount. I love fresh lemon zest as well and this way you can always add more if you want.
