Marinate Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or 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 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cook Chicken
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. For grilling, place the chicken directly on the grill grates. For blackening, add a small amount of oil to the hot skillet and add the chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
