Marinate the Chicken

Prepare the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.

Grill the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them, until grill marks appear.

Flip and Continue Cooking
Flip the chicken breasts and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist chicken breast.
