some of the meats I cook so tender

1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the chicken breasts for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
4. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
