Marinate the chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, and press out as much air as possible before sealing the bag. Shake and massage the bag to coat the chicken pieces in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, up to 1 day.
