Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring 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.
Grilling
- 3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).
- 4
Remove Chicken from Marinade
Once marinated, remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Grill the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
