When pounding chicken breasts between sheets of plastic or wax paper, things can get out of control. Using a thin flexible cutting mat instead makes a real difference—greater stability and easier to get an even thickness.

I put the chicken breast in a large ziploc bag and then flatten. It can then be put directly into the freezer if you don't need it at that time.
