• Place pounded chicken breast in a mixing bowl
• In a food processor add the garlic, lemon, oil, parsley, salt and pepper - pulse until it forms a sauce 
• Pour the sauce over the pounded chicken, cover and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour - the longer the better, this is great to food prep and marinate overnight.
