Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a shallow dish, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 chicken breasts in the dish and coat evenly with the marinade. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F/190°C). Place chicken on the grill and cook for 6 minutes per side, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Step 4: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, arrange 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes around the chicken on the grill. Cook until tomatoes are slightly blistered and their skins begin to split.
  5. Step 5: Remove chicken and tomatoes from grill. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately with the grilled tomatoes and any remaining lemon-herb juices from the pan.
