Instructions

In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated.

Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
