Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts.

Place one breast at a time into a zipper bag with the smooth side facing upwards.

Using a mallet, pound the chicken gently until it is evenly flattened into a steak.

Repeat this process with the remaining chicken breasts.

Add all the remaining ingredients including the olive oil to the flattened chicken breasts.

Leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours in the refrigerator.

Bring to room temperature prior to grilling.

Heat the grill pan and apply a thin layer of oil over it.

Place two to four pieces of chicken in the grill pan according to its size.

Grill on one side on moderate heat for about 5 minutes until nicely grilled and the chicken releases easily from the pan.

Flip the chicken and repeat on the other side, cooking for a total of about 10 to 15 minutes.

Check to see if the chicken is grilled completely.
