Description

If you don’t have a meat mallet, you can substitute a can from your pantry, a rolling pin, or even the bottom of a heavy glass. Try the variation (see FAQ below) for chicken nuggets! 

Serving Suggestions:  Oven-Fried Flat Chicken goes great with baked french fries or baked onion rings, steamed broccoli or a crisp green salad, and a tall glass of cold lemonade.
