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).
