Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, Italian seasoning, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper in a small dish.

Rinse the chicken and place it in a Ziploc bag with the marinade; massage the bag and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Prepare to serve with brown rice and oven-baked tostones.
