Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 2 tbsp olive oil for marinade
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
