Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
- Place the chicken breasts in a Ziploc bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are well coated.

- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
