One of my favorite go-to grilled chicken recipes. Quick, easy, and uses ingredients I usually have on hand.
Lemon and Oregano-Rubbed Chicken Paillards
Chicken breasts are pounded thin with a meat mallet or rolling pin to create paillards; the increased surface allows you to use even more of the flavorful rub.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half)
