Lemon Herb Chicken (or Pork)

I'm growing an herb garden this summer and loving having fresh flavors to use in the kitchen. This is a marinade I put together for some chicken, but I think it would be fabulous on pork as well. This just called for the grill, but I'm sure it could easily be baked as well.

*2 TBSP. canola oil
*2 TBSP. sugar
*3 cloves garlic, minced
*1 TBSP lemon zest
*1 TBSP. lemon juice
*1/4 c. fresh, chopped rosemary
*1/4 c. fresh, chopped thyme
*1/2 tsp. ground pepper
*1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Mix all ingredients together in a quart zip-top bag. Add meat (2-4 chicken breasts or a pork tenderloin or chops), squish around so all surfaces are covered and let marinade for a few hours. Grill until done. I served this with herb-butter noodles, green salad, and some delicious corn on the cob.
