FOR US, chicken breasts prepared this way is a nice reminder of when abalone was found in markets and menus on the West Coast. These days, abalone is scarce, so my son discovered a way to prepare chicken to resemble our favorite food. It's a wonderful, simple recipe. —Marian Platt, Sequim, Washington

I place the chicken breasts between two pieces of waxed paper and flatten them with a rolling pin. I like this recipe with cracker crumbs, but I've found it more convenient to use packaged breadcrumbs (I like the Italian-seasoned kind). This easy recipe is the basis for all sorts of chicken dishes at my house. I sometimes serve it with spaghetti sauce.

This coating made my chicken taste fishy. If you like fish, then it's probably good, but unfortunately I don't. I like the ideas of the saltines and parmesan so I might try it again, but cook it in a little butter instead of oil.

This is so quick and easy to make. I often make it with chicken tenders, or I just use a chicken breast and cut it in half (I have trouble flattening chicken). Then we add rice, or potato salad, or basically any side, and we have a great meal!
