Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

To pound chicken properly, Grandma usually used a meat mallet. But she sometimes used a rolling pin, which worked just as well. She simply pounded lightly all over the chicken breast several times until the meat was much thinner, flatter and of an even thickness. She often covered the chicken with plastic wrap to keep the rolling pin clean.
