Instructions

- Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure that each piece is well-coated in the zesty mixture.
- Chill and Flavor Infusion: Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

Notes
Always allow your chicken to marinate long enough for the flavors to develop. Invest in a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
