Step 1

For the tastiest, most tender chicken, plan ahead and try to marinate the evening before cooking. Marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, but for best results marinate for 2 to 24 hours.

Step 2

Place rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, lemon juice, and oil in a food processor and set on “chop” until all ingredients are finely minced. If you don’t have a food processor, you may chop all ingredients by hand.

Step 3

Transfer mixture to a small mixing bowl and add salt and pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

On a nonporous cutting board, tenderize chicken breasts by lightly pounding them with a meat tenderizer. Do not overpound and make them too thin.

Step 5

Pour marinade mixture into a bowl or baking dish large enough to hold all the chicken. Add the chicken to the mixture, making sure that all chicken is coated with marinade.

Step 6

Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, up to 24 hours if possible. It will still taste great if you marinate for a shorter period, but the longer the better.

Step 7

Heat grill to medium high.

Step 8

Grill chicken until it is cooked through, turning every two minutes. Cooking time may vary, but is usually 3 to 4 minutes per side. You may use a meat thermometer to test that internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
