There's no need for acid in lean meats, such as chicken.
Acidity is used to break down collagen, found in fatty meats (read: red meat). The collagen doesn't break down quickly enough during the cooking process, leaving it 'stringy'. Thus, acid is used to prepare the meat, softening the collagen and making for a more tender meat.
Lean meats don't have bundles of muscle fibre sheathed in collagen. Any acid will just flavor the meat but not make it more tender.

There's a lot of people who skipped over the hold time at temperature caveat and wrongfully believe you "must" cook your chicken to 165°F in order to be safe. It is called the "7-Log Reduction Rule" which gives you a temperature range with a corresponding period of time that a piece of meat needs to be held at once achieving that internal temperature for 99.99999% of any bacteria/salmonella to be killed off. 140°F for chicken breast is amazing but you have to get it to that temperature internally and hold it there for almost an hour to do so, which is why Sous Vide is a great thing. Look up the charts for 7-Log Reduction, buy yourself a Sous Vide cooker, and enjoy juicy meats.
If you are trying to do it on a budget, Amazon sells an Inkbird machine that is great for entry level sous vide. It has an app to control it remotely and does a great job.

Olive oil, minced shallots and garlic, Dijon mustard, herbs based on recipe. Massage and allow to marinate for several hours to overnight. Grill, saute, bread...use a meat thermometer, cook medium/medium low. Flip once golden on pan side. Continue until golden on second side or add sauce if part of recipe and simmer 5 minutes or so. Only use an oven if part of the recipe or you're doing a big party requiring several sheet pans worth😊

One thing that has massively improved my chicken breast is a marco Pierre white trick which is to flour your chicken before pan frying. Season the chicken as you normally would be just dip it into some plain flour then shake off any excess before pan frying with a reasonable amount of olive oil (but not swimming in olive oil) It’s nothing as calorific as southern fried chicken but really improves the texture giving it a slightly crispy surface and it retains the juices inside the chicken as well.

Foolproof: cut breast into nuggets, dip in butter and then parmesan. Cook in air fryer 10-11 min. Absolutely delicious & tender every time.
