For the marinade, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, pressed garlic, Italian herb mixture, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Pour the marinade over the chicken fillets in a shallow dish.. Let them marinate for 1-2 hours, ensuring they are well coated.
After marinating, remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with kitchen paper to remove excess marinade.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the chicken fillets on both sides until they are golden and cooked through. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side.
Set the oven's temperature to 200 degrees Celsius, or 340 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the partially cooked chicken fillets to a baking dish and grill them in the oven for 20 minutes until they are fully cooked and juicy.
