Marinate Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for better flavor.

Grill Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

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