Notes
When you use a mallet, it helps even thickness of the thickest part of the chicken. allowing cooking chicken breast perfectly and avoiding dry chicken breast.
By making sure that the size of your chicken breasts is about the same, you can cook the chicken at high temperature without losing the natural juices of the chicken breast. At a lower temperature, the chicken will dry out.
