:: Helpful Hints
To butterfly the chicken breast, place on a cutting board with the flat side down. Place the palm of your hand on top of the breast. Using a sharp knife, slowly cut evenly and horizontally through the breast, leaving the opposite side still attached by about one half inch. Once opened, the natural "heart shape" is revealed.
