Here you go:'
pail⋅lard /paɪˈyɑr, peɪ-/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [pahy-yahr, pey-] Show IPA
Use paillard in a Sentence
?noun a scallop, esp. of veal or chicken, that is pounded flat and grilled or sauteed quickly.
I have tried this receipe, and it's great. Try doing a search on food tv for a couscous recipe. There are plenty.

But could someone please tell me what a paillard is? I've heard of chicken breasts, thighs, legs, wings, backs, necks, and nuggets. But paillards? Where would I get these? Or do I use other chicken pieces, and do something to make them paillards? Emeril, you lost me here.
