Instructions
- Place chicken breast in a Ziploc bag. Add in olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Seal the bag and gently press the marinade around the chicken to combine and evenly coat the chicken.
- Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
For Baking:
- Preheat oven to 400 F and grease a baking dish with some oil.
- Gently pound the chicken breast with the flat side of a meat mallet to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Place the chicken breast into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 165F.
For Grilling:
- Preheat the grill for 5 minutes.
- Add chicken breast onto the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 165F.
Notes
- Use a preheated oven or grill.
- Line your dish or sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. This makes clean-up much easier!
- If baking, throw in some of your favorite veggies on a sheet pan, for an easy one-sheet meal.
- If flattening your chicken breast, do it gently to ensure the chicken doesn't smash. Make sure to cover it in plastic wrap, this means the chicken won't stick to the mallet.
- You can use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken is done - it should register 165F.
- Serve with your favorite sides - keep it light with salads or go heartier with rice/potatoes - whatever you like really!
