Herbed Grilled Chicken

1 tsp finely chopped fresh sage
1 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 TBS finely chopped fresh parsley
1 TBS finely chopped fresh basil
1 small garlic clove, minced
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
zest of ½ lemon
2 TBS freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ tsp coarse salt
4 chicken breasts, pounded to ¼ inch thick

Combine the herbs, garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt in a large ziplock  bag.  Add the chicken breasts to the bag and seal it.   Rub the herb mixture all over each piece.   Place the plastic bag in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for at least an hour, or as long as overnight.   Turn the bag over occasionally. 

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.  (You can also broil the chicken in your oven.)  Grill the chicken until just cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
