Cook the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each chicken breast to melt.
