Instructions
- Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, paprika, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper to a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 thinner pieces of chicken. Add chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and not more than 2 hours.
- Remove from fridge and heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat.

Notes
-
- Cut the chicken into uniform-sized pieces. This will ensure that it cooks evenly. You can also pound the chicken into cutlets if you want them to be even thinner.
-
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure that it stays moist and juicy.
