Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley.
