6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and chopped

1 tablespoon lemon zest

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

1 pound chicken breast tenders

salt and pepper to taste

Method
-
Combine oil, garlic, thyme, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Toss chicken in oil mixture. Set aside to marinate, about 5 minutes.
