- Place chicken on a cutting board and top with wax paper or plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or a rolling pin, flatten chicken to about ½ inch.

Notes
- Use chicken cutlets: If you prefer, buy chicken cutlets and omit step 2. Chicken cutlets are already trimmed and flattened, ready to use.
- Try a different vegetable: Other vegetables can be substituted for the broccoli. Sliced zucchini or summer squash, green beans, carrots, or eggplant are good choices.
