pounding chicken

Is there a good way to do it without making a mess? I've tried wrapping in wax paper but it tears and makes a mess anyway.

chainsmoker,
Alton Brown has a method in which he spritzes chicken with water before pounding.
Have fun!

chainsmoker,
I have cooked shrimp stuffed chicken breast at 3 or 4 Eggtoberfest and I use a ziplock bag a large meat mallet and a cutting board.You can pound about 10 chicken breast using one bag...Hope this helps.

The Naked Whiz,
Thats what I do.Put them in a plastic baggie grab a large wine bottle and pound away.No worries about the bag ripping like it will with wax paper.

chainsmoker,
Saran, and the bottom of the frying pan works great.
Happy beating

chainsmoker,
The trick is to sprinkle water inside a ziplock, or other strong plastic bag, before you put the chicken in. This helps the meat to slide along the surface as it stretches, and it is not forced. I use the flat side of a meat mallet as a pounder. Also wet the bag after each 2/3 breasts as the water will stick to the chicken meat when you take it out of the bag.
