Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 chicken breasts (6 oz each) into a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade inside. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard marinade.
  4. Step 4: Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve drizzled with a little extra olive oil if desired.
