Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, take the chicken out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve the mini garlic chicken with your choice of sides.
