Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each); 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil; Juice and zest of 2 lemons; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped; 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves; 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped; 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; 1 teaspoon honey; 1 teaspoon sea salt; ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
Marinate the chicken

Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-205°C). Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken

Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
Rest and serve

Transfer the grilled chicken to a clean plate and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Slice if desired and serve with additional lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
