Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a 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 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Preheat the Grill

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Rest and Serve
