Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
½ tsp dijon mustard

For serving

steamed white rice, for serving (optional)
shredded green cabbage, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Make the sauce: Combine the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
