Method
Preparation
- 1

Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Grilling
- 3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F or 190°C to 232°C) for optimal grilling.

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

Rest the 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 juicier result.
