Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine lemon juice, zest, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add the chicken breasts, turning them over to coat thoroughly in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you preheat your grill or skillet.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and beautifully charred.
- Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps in keeping the chicken tender and juicy.
- Serve hot with a side of salad, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
