Flat Brick Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Place the chicken in a bowl.

4. 4
   Remove the rosemary and thyme from their sprigs and rub gently in your hand before adding to the bowl.
5. 5
   Toss to coat all pieces.
6. 6
   Heat a skillet over medium high heat.
7. 7
   Place split chicken breasts in a single layer in the pan.
8. 8
   Place something heavy over the chicken, either another cast iron skillet, a panini pan with a lid, or a brick wrapped in foil, as done in Mexico.
9. 9
   Cook chicken for 7-8 minutes until golden brown.

    Turn and cook the other side.

    Flattening the chicken in this way helps to cook it quickly, creating a crispy skin and keeping the meat moist.
