To much chicken

You now how when you buy a bag of frozen chicken breasts...... there all so big.... well i have found a way to make them smaller by not cutting them in half. Instead of cuting them right in half, turn it sidways and cut the chicken straight through the middle. No one will feel they are getting less chicken this way, and no one can tell that you cut the chicken to make it smaller! Well hope this comes in handy!
