Cook the Chicken
For grilled chicken, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). For crispy chicken, you can pan-fry the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for the same amount of time until golden brown and cooked through.
