Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Place the pounded chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan if using a skillet.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken if desired and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
