• Yield 4 Servings
• Ready in 55 minutes
• Prep 45 minutes
• Cook 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup finely chopped fresh Italian (flat leaf parsley)
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves (finely minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Pound each piece of chicken to an even thickness of 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick.
2. ALTERNATE METHOD: If the chicken breasts you are using are really thick, you can cut them in half (like a hamburger bun) to form two thinner cutlets.
3. Whisk together all the marinade ingredients: parsley, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, garlic cloves, marjoram, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper.
4. Place the chicken in a baking dish or ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the top. Turn to coat the chicken in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours (any longer and the acidity in the marinade can "cook" the chicken and turn it white).
5. Preheat a grill to medium. Grill the chicken until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F, about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
6. Let the chicken rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes before slicing into strips and serving.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
