Mysterious Multiplying Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Put one chicken breast inside a sturdy ziplock bag and squeeze out most of, but not all, of the air.
2. 2
   You want to unfold the chicken breast so that it is as flat as possible inside the bag.
3. 3
   Take a heavy metal skillet, or rubber or cooking mallot (do not use a metal hammer) and pound each chicken breast (you have to hit it pretty hard) so that you flatten the piece evenly to between 1/4 and 1/2 inch.
4. 4
   You do not want to keep pounding until the chicken starts to fall apart.
5. 5
   When you are finished, the chicken will be flattened, and twice the size of the piece you started with.
6. 6
   The amazing thing is, when you cook this chicken, it expands and you would never know that you flattened it to begin with.
7. 7
   I also find that it tenderizes the chicken.
8. 8
   Cut the chicken into strips with scissors to quickly make chicken fingers or chunks for your favorite recipe.
9. 9
   You can try this for yourself and see if it doesn't give you the feeling that you are feeding the multitudes with mysterious multiplying chicken!
10. 10
    I find that I can use two chicken breasts where I used to use five.
11. 11
    Your chicken will cook faster because the meat is now even thickness.
