• Place them on a large piece of plastic wrap, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover with a second sheet of plastic wrap, and gently but firmly pound the chicken with a meat pounder or the underside of a small, heavy skillet to make fillets of even thickness of 1/4 to 1/3 inch.
• Spread the flour on a large plate and lightly dredge the cutlets; shake off the excess flour.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, broad skillet until hot enough to sizzle.
• Add the cutlets a few at a time and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
