4boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (1-1 1/4 pounds), trimmed, tenders removedsee savings
-
1/4 cupall-purpose floursee savings
-
1/2 teaspoonsaltsee savings
-
Freshly ground pepper, to tastesee savings
-
1 tablespoonextra-virgin olive oil, or canola oilsee savings
Directions
1.
Cover chicken with plastic wrap and pound with a rolling pin, meat mallet or heavy skillet until flattened to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish; dredge the chicken (discard any leftover flour).
2.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until well browned and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve.
Tips:
Chicken tenders, virtually fat-free, are a strip of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of the chicken breast, but they can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders
will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded "chicken fingers."
