Notes

Ensure that the chicken breasts are evenly pounded to a uniform thickness before cooking; this promotes even cooking and helps achieve the desired tenderness, preventing any parts from being overcooked while others remain undercooked.
When preparing the lemon glaze, balance the acidity of the lemon juice with the right amount of sweetness and seasoning; this will enhance the overall flavor of the dish, making it bright and delicious without overpowering the chicken's natural taste.
