- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
