Is there anyone out there that actually prefers thick chicken cutlets over thin ones?

[Polybius]

I just bought pre-breaded chicken cutlets from Target (easy cooking, since all I have to do is put them in the air fryer). Well, it turns out that they were pretty thick. Ugh. So it got me thinking, does anyone out there actually prefer thick chicken cutlets?

On almost everything that I disagree with, I can usually see the other side of the argument and at least see why they choose that opinion. Not this one. Anyone preferring thick chicken cutlets just seems insane to me!

1. I pound chicken cutlets flat.

In a plastic bag, use a sort of meat mallet.

We have them often that way, browned in a pan with butter, lemon, and capers.

Piccata.

Delicious.

2. That's a great way to prep them!

Gets them nice and thin.

3. My husband sometimes brings home chicken breast...

That are so big they look like turkey breast.

How can they sell me four pounds of chicken breast, when a whole chicken doesn’t weigh four pounds?

He seems to think he’s getting some kind of bargain, but I think he’s buying some old giant tough chicken they’ve been trying to catch for two years. Or, it’s from a small turkey.

4. Chicken cutlets is what removable bra inserts are called in some feminine circles.

Just to add a new point of consideration to your question.

7. I do -- because they're less expensive than thin-cut breasts.

$6.99 vs. $4.99. I can slice the breasts thin myself or pound them thin and save $2 a pound.

8. Yes, that'll work!

But so far still no one preferers to actually eat them while they're thick.

9. IMO, the trick is to get the thick ones thoroughly cooked to the middle.

I do love a thick juicy anything: chicken breast, pork chop, steak, etc.

10. Thick meat only works when you can safely eat it rare or med

Ergo, does not apply to chicken.

Now, if one were cutting said cutlet into pieces, i could see preferring to start with more fleshy piece.

11. I do prefer thick cicked breasts

and also pork chops. But I wouldn't on a sandwich (which I never eat because I am allergic to wheat - I also don't eat them breaded for the same reason.) I also like thick pork chops. But I have learned to cook both so slowly that the get plenty well done but stay tender. And that isn't someting that's taught - it's learned by trial and error - so I do't have any problem with other people liking them thin. And especially on sandwiches.
