Cut the two chicken breasts lengthwise to make four pieces.

Place Saran wrap on the cutting board, then place a second piece over the chicken.

Use a meat cleaver to tenderize and flatten the chicken, ensuring even thickness.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Sazon on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Dredge the chicken in bread crumbs, coating it well.

Add 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan and add the chicken pieces.

Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Serve the chicken on top of black beans and rice, adding a dollop of sour cream in the center.
