  4. Place marinated chicken breasts on the grill; close the lid. Discard the marinade. Grill, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
