It truly is my go-to recipe for grilled chicken. The combination of method (pounding the breasts and highest heat grilling) plus using lemon zest instead of juice to marinate is pure genius and transforms bland boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the most flavorful and moist grilled chicken ever. In a large bowl, combine rosemary, oregano, vinegar, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly with two wooden spoons, turning chicken until it's completely coated by herbs and other ingredients. Juicy lemon herb chicken breasts are the perfect easy protein and perfect for quick cooking.
