Ingredients You'll Need:

• 4 of Edwards Family Farms boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 lemons (zested and juiced)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Let’s Get Cooking!

1. Marinate the Chicken: Start by making the marinade. In a big bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. It smells amazing already, right? Now, add your chicken breasts to the bowl, making sure they're well-coated with all that lemony, herby goodness. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. If you have the time, let it sit for 2-4 hours to really soak up the flavors.
2. Preheat the Grill: While your chicken is marinating, get your grill heated up to medium-high. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. You want it nice and hot to get those perfect grill marks.
3. Grill the Chicken: Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side. You're aiming for a nice char and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Trust me, the smell will be irresistible!
4. Serve and Enjoy: Once your chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes. This helps keep it juicy. Serve it up with some extra lemon slices and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you like. Pair it with a fresh salad, grilled veggies, or classic corn on the cob for a full-on feast.

And there you have it – Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken that's sure to be a hit at your 4th of July celebration. It's simple, delicious, and sure to impress. 

Happy grilling, and enjoy your Independence Day!
