Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  3. Marinate: Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.

  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with lemon slices if desired and serve hot.
