- Marinate the 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 1 to 2 hours. For optimal flavor, marinate overnight if possible.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

- Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
