Grill the Chicken or Steak

Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F for chicken). For steak, grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
