Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 450°F (190°C to 232°C).

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

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.
