Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally 3 hours, turning occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
  4. Step 4: Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through.
  5. Step 5: While chicken cooks, heat 1/2 cup chicken broth in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove and 2 tbsp lemon juice, simmer for 3 minutes until fragrant and slightly reduced.
  6. Step 6: Transfer grilled chicken to a platter and drizzle with the lemon garlic sauce. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
