Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size. This will ensure even cooking.
  • Make sure the chicken is well-marinated: The marinade helps to flavor the chicken and keep it moist during grilling. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade while grilling: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
