Step 1

Place the chicken in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and pound the chicken with the flat side of the meat mallet to 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick so that it has an even thickness throughout.

Step 2

Add all other ingredients to the bag and close the bag. Mix the marinade and the chicken together by gently kneading the bag until the mixture is well combined. Place chicken in marinade and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C.

Step 4

Spray grill pan with non-stick cooking spray and set the pan on high heat on the stovetop. Let the pan get very hot first - this is essential! It should take at least 5 minutes.

Step 5

When the grill pan is good and hot, add chicken with tongs. Don't move or touch it for exactly 1.5 minutes! Then, turn it over and grill the other side for exactly 1.5 minutes. Now, place the whole thing in the oven for 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from oven and use an instant read thermometer. Chicken is done when internal temperature is 165 degrees F.

Step 7

Let stand on a plate for about 5 minutes before serving.
