| # | Steps |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a bowl, mix together the orange juice, lemon zest, olive oil, chopped fresh thyme, and minced garlic to create a flavorful marinade. |
| 2 | Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. |
| 3 | Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. |
| 4 | Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices. |
| 5 | Slice the chicken and serve it with a sprinkle of extra thyme and a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. |
