  • To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating.
  • Serve the grilled chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover grilled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
