Method:

1)-Take the chicken breast. Do not cut it from the middle as is the standard practice of 

      qasai in Pakistan. It should be butterfly shape.(you can also use K&n's chicken   

      breast fillet) .

2)-With a knife cut  neatly through the chicken breast to make  two fillets. Wrap in 

       a thin piece of cloth/romal  and pound gently with a mallet/steak hammer or the

       back of screw driver.

3)-Now put it in a bowl. mix garlic,salt,vinegar and olive oil and rub it on the chicken. 

     You can give the chicken piece small cuts for better marination

 4)-Leave for 1 hour.

     paper. Sprinkle the all purpose flour over it. 

6)-Place the fillet on the tray and pour the marinate left in the bowl on it. Turn the 

     heat to 250 degrees and let cook for 20 minutes.

Best way is to check it with a fork after 20 min .If cooked and tender. remove from 

oven.
