Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
