Flattened chicken breast...?!


Question:

Flattened chicken breast...?

I live in Miami and most of the latin restaurants serve this flattened breast cooked on a griddle/grill with black beans and rice. I have been using a meat tenderizing hammer to flatten my chicken breast but I'm curious. Is there a cooking tool, sort of like the press used to make cuban sandwiches or panini sandwiches, sold in stores that can be used to flatten & grill the breast instead of beating the heck out of it? If not, what are other alternatives to flattening the chicken. Beating it is such a mess!


Answers:

butterfly (cut in half by width without cutting all the way through) the chicken then give it a slight pounding. It makes it easier that way

I use my Foreman grill as my panini press. It makes a great Cubano. Serrano Ham, Swiss Cheese, pickle...yummmm
