Ingredients

1½ tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
1½ tablespoons minced fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
3 cloves garlic grated or squeezed through a garlic press
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large lemons juiced
kosher salt to taste

4 chicken breasts pounded to 1/2 inch thickness with flat side of meat tenderizer

Instructions

Add the fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in to a large shallow dish and whisk to combine.

Use tongs to toss the chicken breasts into the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit on the counter for 1 hour. *note:

if marinating for 2 hours, refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours and remove from the fridge a half hour before grilling.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Every grill is different, so watch and flip when good grill marks form and remove when the chicken is fully cooked.
Serve as is or thinly slice for topping a salad.
