# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, and lemon juice until thoroughly combined.
02 - Add chicken breasts to the marinade, coating them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
03 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
04 - Place chicken breasts in the hot skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden brown on the underside.
05 - Flip the chicken using tongs and continue cooking for another 6 to 8 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
06 - Transfer the chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
07 - Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken before serving.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Marinating chicken overnight intensifies the garlic and herb flavors.
02 - Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
03 - Add red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy twist.
