Pepita-crusted chicken cutlets

Cutlets and meatballs

Adapted from Justin Chapple's Mad Genius Tips. To halve the chicken breasts crosswise as opposed to pounding them out, use one hand to press lightly on top of the breast and the other to hold the knife and gently saw back and forth till you've made your way down the breast and are left with two pieces. In place of the mustard-mayo mix, you could do a more traditional flour-egg-crumb station. To do this, whisk two eggs with 1/4 cup flour and 2 tablespoons of water. I like to serve these cutlets with this <a href="https://food52.com/recipes/67905-simple-orange-salsa">orange salsa</a>.
