Rosemary, Garlic, and Lemon Marinade

I've been taking advantage of the fresh herbs I'm growing. I grilled the chicken and it was delicious and summery. This was really easy.

For 3 large chicken breasts:
(This is all approximate - there is a lot of room to play)
4 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
4 cloves garlic, minced
1+tsp lemon zest
juice of 1/3 small lemon
salt
olive oil

Mix it all up and rub into chicken, let marinate for however long you want. This is not a sauce-like marinade. I put the chicken in a ziploc bag so I could really rub it in. I also sliced the chicken in half, maybe halfway through, and rubbed some into the inside. I wound up separating the "halves" on the grill because I had cut a little too far, so whatever works for you if you want the extra flavor. This is very flavorful and I recommend not charring it, the flavor was best on the less browned pieces.
