- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.

Partially fold the chicken breast in half along the slice to continue shallow, horizontal slices on both sides; slices should resemble an upside-down capital T.

- Place chicken in the prepared casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.
