Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, marinate for 2-4 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
