To break up connective tissue and allow marinades to penetrate, first treat meat with a mallet or Jacaard tenderizer. Also use a marinade that contains raw fruit juices, like pineapple, papaya or figs, which are high in enzymes that soften meat texture. Note: Be careful not to marinate for an extended period, as meat may break down.
Mix two parts Kosher salt with one part coarse ground black pepper. Add garlic powder, cumin, paprika, thyme, rosemary or lemon zest to complement the recipe. Sprinkle about one teaspoon of seasoning on each side of a medium chicken breast.
Marinate chicken breasts in slightly acidic marinade overnight. DO NOT OVERCOOK. When the internal temperature reaches 170 F when measured with a meat thermometer, chicken is done.
