Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  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. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and charred on the outside. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
  5. Serve the grilled lemon herb chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Interesting Facts
