Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped thyme, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) in a large resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours to infuse flavor.
Step 3: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Step 4: Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside has a nice char with grill marks.
Step 5: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to allow juices to redistribute.
