Grilling the Protein
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken (or steak) from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side for chicken, or until the steak reaches desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
