Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
