Tips:

Make sure to use a high-quality chicken breast for the best results.
If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it will become dry and tough.
If you are using a store-bought sauce, be sure to taste it before adding it to the chicken. You may want to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides.
