Instructions

Place chicken on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/2-inch thickness. This ensures quick, even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides. Lightly dust with flour, shaking off any excess. The flour will help create a golden crust and lightly thicken the sauce later.
