Preparation
Step 1
Recommended: Pound breast to even thickness using a meat pounder, rolling pin, or fist. OR cut large ones in half horizontally to form 2 cutlets (steaks) for each.
Step 2
Mix marinade in a ziplock bag (or container in which chicken fits snugly). Add chicken.
Step 3
Marinate 3 hours to overnight, though even 30 minutes is effective. (Note 2)
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, and cook chicken per times below until deep golden (see video). If browning too quickly, lower heat.
Step 5
Transfer to serving plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 3 minutes before serving, garnished with parsley and lemon slices if desired.
