Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the chicken 6 to 7 minutes per side until it reaches 165 degrees F.
