Instructions

For the marinade:

  1. Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.

For the chicken:

  1. Set the chicken breast on a cutting board or mat and cover with plastic wrap. Lightly pound the thick end with a meat mallet until you get an even thickness. (If you don't have a meat mallet you can use a rolling pin instead.)
  2. Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breast, close the bag and move the chicken around until it's evenly coated.
  3. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  4. Take the chicken out of the marinade and bake or grill.

Baking instructions:

  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on it. Take the chicken breast out of the marinade and set on the wire rack. Bake the chicken, uncovered, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (The baking time will be about 25 minutes for a chicken breast that's ½ inch thick.)
  2. Serve with roasted vegetables.

Grilling instructions:

  1. Take the chicken out of the marinade and grill until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (About 15 minutes for a chicken breast that's ½ inch thick.)
  2. Serve with roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • *You can substitute dried thyme for a variation on this recipe. Use the same amount.
