Poulet Battu

Otherwise known as Beaten Chicken. This is really Chicken French, but since the creator of this dish described the first step as

"Well I beat the heck out of the chicken..."

I decided that beating the chicken was central to the success of the dish.

2 Full chicken breasts, each cut in half, uh making 4 chicken breasts.
1 Cup of Bisquick, seasoned with salt/pepper and/or some Cajun seasoning
2 eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sweet vermouth
2 tbl capers

Beat the heck out of each chicken breast, using saran wrap and a rolling pin. Hmm, wrap each chicken breast in saran wrap or a plastic bag, then using something heavy like rolling pin or another pan, flatten the chicken breast. Beat until the breast is half as thick as original. This breast reduction changes the texture to something with a better mouth feel.
