Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred.
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
