Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 450°F (190°C to 230°C).

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken breast on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving it.

Flip and Finish Cooking
Flip the chicken breast and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 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 allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier chicken.
