Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C).

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Let it Rest
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
