To ensure the chicken breasts cook evenly, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken breasts in a grill pan over medium heat.
Be careful not to overcook the chicken breasts; otherwise, they will become dry and tough. Cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
