Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill, cooking for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest the Chicken
