Cutlets by definition are already tender, nothing to do
except season and cook... unless you mean *formed* cutlets,
then you need a meat grinder.

cutlet
1. A thin, tender cut of meat. Cutlets are best when quickly
cooked, such as sautéed or grilled.

2. A mixture of finely chopped meat, fish or poultry that's
bound with a sauce or egg mixture and formed into the
shape of a cutlet. This type of formed cutlet is often
dipped into beaten egg and then into bread crumbs before
being fried.

Just marinate the chicken in something slightly acidic for
a few hours, or over night. I use a teaspoon of white
vinegar in a cup of soy sauce with some herbs and spices.
Works well.

Do not overcook chicken, especially breast meat. It dries
out and is tough. Cook just till the juices run clear and
remove from the heat source. I even remove slightly before
the juice is clear and let it finish for 5 to 7 minutes.

To flatten, and to some tenderize, meat I use what used to
be my hubby's dead blow mallet. (He had to get another one,
I wouldn't give it back) -Ginny
