- Butter for frying
- Salt and pepper
Equipment
Clingfilm
Rolling pin
Frying pan
Instructions
Preparation:
- Pat the chicken with a kitchen paper to dry it

- Beat the chicken with your rolling pin or meat hammer until it is very thin. The thinner it is the faster it will cook
- Don't worry if it starts to come apart, but do stop at that point
To cook:
- Put the butter in the frying pan
- Heat the pan over a medium-high heat until the butter starts to sizzle
- Add the chicken breast(s) and season with salt and pepper
- Fry for 3-4 minutes
- Turn the chicken over, season again, and fry for another 3-4 minutes
- The chicken is ready when both sides are golden
- Serve with salad and mayonnaise.
