Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breasts into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking, then add them to the marinade, making sure they are well-coated.
3. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
6. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
