Variations
Nutritional values may change if you choose to substitute another chicken product. If substituting frozen chicken for this recipe, thaw before cooking. If substituting fresh whole boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut the whole breast in half before preparing.
Tips
*If you have two breast fillets in a Just BARE® package, slice each one in half horizontally to make 4 cutlets, rather than pounding them out.
