Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped herbs, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until you have a thick marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and shake it to evenly coat the chicken.
Refrigerate the chicken for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours to allow it to marinate.
Heat a grill over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
