Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a 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 30 minutes to 2 hours for best results.

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per 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 about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
