Preparation
Step 1
Rinse the chicken breasts and pat dry. In a large shallow nonreactive dish, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, grated lemon zest and juice, 2 Tbsp rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours.
Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill. Oil the rack and position about 6" from the heat.
Grill the breasts, turning once, until firm to the touch and opaque throughout, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board and cut on the diagonal against the grain into slices 1/2" thick, capturing carving juices, if possible.
Arrange the chicken slices on a warmed platter and drizzle any carving juices over the top. Sprinkle rosemary leaves and sprigs and shredded lemon zest.
