just butterfly it. takes like 15 seconds per chicken boob.

Actually, this is something I might start doing, especially because it would make bone-in, skin-on filets easier to cook. Thanks for giving me the name of the thing I was thinking of doing.

Ok, guys, I'm going to cut my meat instead of beating it, for now.

plastic wrap on top and bottom of meat, place meat on cutting board, and then pound with fist. Either that or I will use a can of vegetables.

Make sure you yell at it in anger when you are pounding your meats. The neighbors will be jealous of your cooking!

A bone-in, skin-on breast wouldn't be called a fillet.

Can/would you even butterfly breasts with the bone-in? I suppose you can, but that would be odd, given that you'd then be cooking a thin boneless fillet and a boned breast with half its meat. Not quite sure what you're trying to do here.

Meat in plastic bag or covered in saran, then hammered. This also crushes ice.
