- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Place 1/2 cup of the sauce in a bowl and let cool. The remaining sauce will be used for basting and serving.
- Place the chicken in a container and cover with the 1/2 cup cooled sauce, turning the chicken over to completely coat.
- Marinate for 15 minutes.
- Oil the grates of the grill and heat to medium-high.
- Grill the chicken for 4 minutes on each side. If you’re unable to grill these outside, a stovetop grill pan works as well.
- Test the chicken for doneness with an instant read thermometer (internal temperature of 165 degrees F) or cut open to make sure the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the grill, baste with additional reserved sauce, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
