Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Do not overcook the chicken, as it will become dry and tough.
- If you do not have boneless, skinless chicken breasts, you can use bone-in, skin-on breasts. Just be sure to remove the skin and bones before cooking.
