- Place chicken breasts into the marinade and turn to coat well.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill over medium-high heat about 15 minutes before grilling.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Notes
Marinate overnight for deeper flavor. Adjust jalapenos for spice preference. Always let the chicken rest after grilling.
