Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2-3 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 4 large chicken breasts skinless, boneless

Instructions
 

  • 1. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
