Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • grill or grill pan

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.

  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked.
