Cutlets by definition are already tender, nothing to do except season and
cook... unless you mean *formed* cutlets, then you need a meat grinder.

cutlet
1. A thin, tender cut of meat. Cutlets are best when quickly cooked, such as
sautéed or grilled.

2. A mixture of finely chopped meat, fish or poultry that's bound with a sauce
or egg mixture and formed into the shape of a cutlet. This type of formed
cutlet is often dipped into beaten egg and then into bread crumbs before being
fried.

Just marinate the chicken in something slightly acidic for a
few hours, or over night. I use a teaspoon of white vinegar in
a cup of soy sauce with some herbs and spices. Works well.

Do not overcook chicken, especially breast meat. It dries out and is tough.
Cook just till the juices run clear and remove from the heat source. I even
remove slightly before the juice is clear and let it finish for 5 to 7
minutes.

To flatten, and to some tenderize, meat I use what used to be my hubby's
dead blow mallet. (He had to get another one, I wouldn't give it back)
