- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (60ml)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (60ml)
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (30ml)

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prep them.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey until well combined.
- Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over to coat thoroughly. Seal or cover.
