Garlic Herb Grilled Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp fresh rosemary and thyme, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, smashed
• 1 tsp grated lemon zest
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

Method

1. Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
2. Combine olive oil, herbs, smashed garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bag with the chicken. Marinate for 1 hour.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F). Clean and oil the grates thoroughly.
4. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving to develop clean sear marks.
5. Flip and grill for another 5 minutes, or until the thickest part reads 165°F. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
