Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
