Analyzing cooking steps...
Pounding the chicken is crucial for even cooking and a tender texture.
Drying the chicken thoroughly with paper towels ensures a better sear and crispier exterior.
Seasoning in layers (both the flour and the chicken) creates a more balanced and deep flavor profile.
The butter added at the end must be cold and the heat reduced to prevent the sauce from separating or 'breaking'.
