- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece evenly. Cover the dish or seal the bag.

- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.
