Main ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts Lean protein with minimal fat

- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Adds acidity and brightness
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar Contributes sweetness and caramelization
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt Enhances overall flavor

Instructions
Preparation
- Pound the chicken breasts evenly to about 1 inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Coat the pounded chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Grilling
- Preheat the grill to medium-high, around 400°F.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and grill for 5–7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, marinate longer, monitor grill temperature, ensure even cooking, and use fresh lemon juice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze for future use.
