Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal or cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

- Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Serve the sliced chicken over the salad with lemon wedges on the side.
