Prepare marinade:
In a small bowl, combine mayo, paprika, garlic powder, mustard, lemon juice, wine, chopped garlic cloves, green onion, basil and thyme. Set aside.
1/2 cup avocado mayo, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 cup white wine, 4 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons green onion, 2 teaspoons basil, 2 teaspoons thyme
Prepare chicken breasts:
Tenderize chicken with a mallet. Then season with salt.
Pour marinade over the chicken in a shallow bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2-3 pounds thin-sliced chicken breasts, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat your broiler for 5 minutes when you're ready to cook:
Place chicken in several batches on a greased broiler pan being careful not to crowd the pan. Broil 3-4 minutes on each side brushing frequently with marinade. (Depending upon the thickness of your chicken, cooking time may vary. Be sure not to overcook and dry out the meat)
Transfer chicken to a dish and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute through the meat.

I recommend pounding each chicken breast with a meat tenderizer because this cut can have a tendency to be a little tough. However, a few whacks with the mallet softens the fibers of the chicken, and your chicken will turn out nice and tender.
If you don’t have avocado mayo, you can use regular mayonnaise. I like Primal Kitchen avocado mayo as it’s sugar free and tastes delicious.
Today, I have thin sliced boneless skinless chicken. Alternatively, you can slice boneless chicken breasts horizontally into two even pieces.
I recommend using this type of broiler pan with a grid top. Line the bottom drip pan of the broiler pan with foil.
Don't crowd the pan. As your meat cooks, it will start to give off moisture. If there's not enough room they’ll steam instead of browning.
This marinated chicken can be cooked on the grill for equally fantastic results. Simply preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the chicken for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remember to brush the chicken with the marinade as you flip it for that extra burst of flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
