Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally 1-2 hours, to let the flavors meld.
Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Make sure to clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
