Add the chicken breasts, and marinate for 20 minutes or wait overnight if desired. 2. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade). Season with salt and pepper. 3. Grill the chicken breasts until cooked through or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165Â°F (74Â°C), 4â6 minutes per side. 4.
