Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

In a shallow dish, combine lemon juice, fresh thyme leaves, red-pepper flakes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form the marinade.

Immerse chicken breasts in the marinade ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor absorption.

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.

Place marinated chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10-12 minutes on one side.

Turn the chicken breasts over and grill for another 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The inner temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit on a meat thermometer.

Garnish the grilled chicken with fresh thyme sprigs before serving.
