I'd say brine the chicken and be careful not to overcook it. Also pay attention to the way you cut it; chicken, like all other meats, has a grain direction. If you cut it against the grain, each piece will be more tender as the fibers in the meat will be shorter.

Use thigh meat, I cook it in an oven bag full of Irish butter and salt, pepper, garlic, and celery seeds. Just at 250, meat thermometer till done.

You forgot the lemon slices.
Also,
>celery seed
Better be careful with that, if you add too much, it will ruin your chicken.

I only put celery seed on my hot dogs with mustard and onion. Haven't found a reason to put it in anything else, really.

Butterfly a breast or flatten it with brute force. Dont overcook it and let it rest while you drizzle a little bit of oliveoil on it. No need to brine it. Dry chicken breast can easily be prevented by reducing the thickness of the meat. Alternatively, brown the breast in a pan on high heat, and then put it in the over for a couple of minutes to make sure it cooks properly (also let it rest).

mark it, finish it off in oven with marinade.

if you have frozen chicken breasts, throw them on the grill while they're frozen. don't thaw them. they'll turn out nice and juicy
