Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). This ensures even cooking.
In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, Salt and pepper
Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
