Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure even coating. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
4. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and keep the chicken moist.
6. Slice the grilled chicken breasts and serve with your choice of side dishes, such as Greek salad and tzatziki sauce.
7. Enjoy your delicious Cousin Cosmo's Greek Chicken!
