Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken

Chicken breasts marinated in lemon, olive oil, garlic, and dried herbs, then grilled until juicy with good char. The marinade keeps the breast meat from drying out, the herbs are familiar and not aggressive, and this pairs with every side in the catalog. This is the weeknight grilling recipe every family should have.
