Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

    Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken.

    Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

  5. 5

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade.

  6. 6

    Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

  7. 7

    During the last few minutes of grilling, add lemon slices to the grill for added flavor.

  8. 8

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
