Berry Salsa

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), diced

Directions

In a bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.Top each grilled chicken breast with a generous scoop of the berry salsa.
