  • 1 large egg (or ¼ cup egg substitute)

    2. Cut chicken in half and place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap (wash hands). Pound with meat mallet until each piece is about ¾-inch thick. Dip chicken into egg (letting excess drip off). Coat chicken with plantain mixture, pressing with fingertips to adhere (wash hands).
