Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more intense flavor.
-
Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the Chicken:

Serve:

- Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, reserve a small amount of the marinade before adding the chicken and use it to brush the chicken during grilling.
