Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as naan, rice, or a fresh salad.
