Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary

In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
