Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add the pounded chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with basmati rice or an organic salad.
