Once the grill is hot, take the chicken breasts out of the marinade using tongs and place them on the grill. Cook for about 5 to 8 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for about 6 minutes on the other side. The chicken is ready when juices run clean, it's no longer pink and the internal temperature registers at 165°F.
