Place chicken breasts into a glass container with a lid or in a plastic bag inside another container (in case the bag leaks).
In a medium bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients - reserve ¼ cup of the marinade for brushing onto the chicken while grilling.
Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and turn to coat the chicken.
Marinate in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours, or at room temperature for up to 1 hour.
Grill
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and sprinkle them with salt and pepper
Grill over medium heat for about 5 minutes on the first side, and 3-5 on the second side, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. (NOTE: grilling time with vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts).
Brush with remaining marinade during grilling.
Cover the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes on a serving plate before cutting and serving.
