Other options:

For the chicken to cook faster and more evenly, you can also flatten with a mallet to make cutlets. See our Pork Picatta recipe for instructions on how to do this.

 

You can also use split chicken breasts. After searing the breasts, skin side down, for 5 minutes, put in a hot oven set at 385ºF and cook until internal temperature reads 160ºF with a meat thermometer, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and continue with recipe from step 8.
