Preparation

Place the chicken breasts in an airtight dish and set aside.
In a bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper and whisk. Set aside 1/4 of the marinade in a separate container for basting, then pour the other 3/4 over the chicken. Toss to coat, close the dish and refrigerate 3 hours.
Preheat the BBQ (or a ridged cast iron pan) to maximum, then reduce to medium. Oil the grates.
Grill the chicken about 20 minutes, turning once, until it reaches 165°F (74°C) at the center. Baste with the reserved clean marinade every 5 minutes as it cooks.
Tent with aluminum foil and rest 5 minutes before slicing on the bias.
