Cook the Chicken
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
