Let's just say you've had the roughest of days: car won't start in the morning, then it dies on the drive home. Or your kid gets sick in the middle of the night, all over every bit of bedding he or she owns. That big project you thought you had two weeks for, you only have two days. She's going out with him, not you. Take out all those frustrations on an object that's done nothing to you, but can't complain: two meaty chicken breasts, just waiting to be paillard-ed into thinness. You'll cook these bad boys up with garlic, tomatoes, and lemon juice, and serve some nicely roasted broccoli on the side. Life is full of frustrations, but, thankfully, it's also full of flavors. Tip: You don't need Paul Sorvino wielding a razor blade to get super thin slices of garlic. (That's from Goodfellas, for all you non-movie fans.) Just be sure to tuck the fingertips of your garlic-holding hand for safety, and use your knuckle as your guide.
