Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Pound Chicken Breasts

Place 2 of the chicken breasts in large freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Pound chicken with the side of a heavy can, rolling pin or meat mallet until chicken is 1/4-inch thick. Remove chicken from bag; set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.

Substitute

Prepare using OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh Honey Ham.

Cooking Know-How

If necessary, secure chicken rolls with wooden toothpicks before coating with bread crumbs and baking as directed. Be sure to remove and discard all toothpicks before serving the chicken.

I love this recipe! It is so simple and so delicious! The only change I made was I used milk instead of egg product(didn't have any so I substituted!) and they turned out great! I have already made this twice for my family and they love it too!

I loved making this dish an my company loved eating it. It displayed nicely and the flavor was delicious and moist. It looked like it was harder to make than it was. The most difficult part bein "pounding" the chicken to 1/4 inch which really wasn't difficult at all. Great for company. I serve it with rice almonine, dinner rolls, caesar salad and fruit salad. Great dinner.

I made this recipe minus the egg and the bread crumbs, to cut back on fat, instead I used parmesan cheese and black pepper and horseradish mustard. It turn out better than I thought. I will definitely make this again.

This recipe is very good. I used pre-marinated (Italian seasonings) chicken breasts for it which added alot of flavor and muenster cheese. They turned out great and my husband loved it!
