Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps to retain the juices.
