- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 4 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on the first side without moving them.
Flip the chicken breasts and grill for another 6-7 minutes on the other side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken with your choice of sides like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
