My family cant get enough.

The game is How do I transform bland chicken breasts into something delicious?

It all started a few years ago when my daughter decided that chicken was something she wanted weekly.

Of course, it couldnt be chicken thighs or even bone-in chicken breast.

No, she wanted boneless, skinless chicken breast.

Basically, the most boring cut of poultry.

A dry piece of chicken is a tough piece of chicken, and theres nothing good about that.

The solution is easy: slice the chicken into cutlets and pound to an even thickness, then marinate.

This means pairing the chicken with roasted potatoes and broccoli, then drizzling the sauce over everything.

Ill often get the oven preheated about 30 minutes before I know Ill be cooking the chicken.

That way everything is ready at the same time.

Place the cutlets between two large pieces of parchment paper and pound each lightly to 1/4-inch thickness.

Transfer to a gallon-size zip-top bag.

Thinly slice the green onions, setting the dark green parts aside for garnishing.

Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade if youd like to make a sauce for serving.

Transfer the remaining marinade to the bag with the chicken.

Seal the bag and turn to coat the chicken.

Place it in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.

Set a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the oil.

Discard the chicken marinade.

Season the tops with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Serve the chicken garnished with sauce and the sliced green onions.
