Arrange the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill or prepared baking tray. Grill or bake for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the exterior is golden brown.

Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with dipping sauces or seasonal vegetables as desired.

For best flavor, marinate the chicken for the full four hours if time allows.
