Instructions

Place chicken in a large ziploc bag and pound to an even thickness of about ½ inch using a meat mallet.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken in the ziploc bag. Seal tightly and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least four hours or up to twelve for optimal flavor.
Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill each piece of chicken for about 2–4 minutes on each side until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let rest for five minutes before serving.
