Things you need to cook chicken breasts:

· Salt
· Freshly ground black pepper
· Herbs and spices (optional)
· Flour (optional)
· Olive oil
· Butter (optional)

Step 1: Take the chicken breasts and measure the sizes so that every piece may be evenly sized. If the breasts are too thick you may even consider slicing it into two pieces. Then put them in the plastic wrap and cover it. Use the mallet to pound them into even thickness.

Step 3: Now take the sauté pan and place it on your stove with a medium high temperature to heat it up. When it is warm enough, pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter (or a mixture of both if you want) onto it and swirl it around so that the oil scatters all over the pan.
