Instructions
Preparation
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
Make the Marinade
- Whisk together olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and parsley in a large bowl.
Marinate
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the marinade for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
