¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp olive tapenade
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, can substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Using a food processor, add all of the ingredients. Pulse several times and then scrape down the sides of the bowl. Pulse several more times until mixture is finely chopped but not quite pureed.
Transfer tapenade into a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator until needed.

Using a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the chicken.
Transfer mixture into a large ziptop bag. Add chicken breasts. Seal bag and turn several times until chicken is well coated in marinade.
Refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (~400°F).
Remove chicken breasts from marinade and place on grill. Discard excess marinade.
Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken breast reaches 165°F.
Top grilled chicken with additional olive tapenade before serving.
