How to cook Easy & Juicy Grilled Chicken

in a small bowl, whisk all ingredients except chicken breasts well
in a large ziplock bag, add chicken breasts and marinade mixture, seal, shake to coat, and let sit for 30 minutes minimum. overnight is best!
preheat grill pan or plate to HIGH and coat with no-stick cooking spray (before it gets hot)
lay breasts down flat on grill and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side (depending on breast thickness). the meat will release from the grill once it's cooked! if it doesn't it's not ready.
transfer breasts to a plate and cover with foil to retain juiciness while you finish cooking remaining breasts.
