Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • grill
  • mixing bowl
  • Resealable bag or shallow dish
  • saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring even coating. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (overnight for best results).
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F).
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess liquid. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  5. Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
  6. Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Drizzle the sauce over the top before serving.
