Place chicken in a shallow dish or 1-gallon sealable plastic bag.

Add the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.

Remove from the marinade and pat dry.

Preheat grill to medium-high or position a rack in upper third of oven and preheat broiler.

To grill: Oil the grill rack (see Tip).

To broil: Line a broiler pan (or baking sheet) with foil and coat with cooking spray.

Place the chicken on the foil.

Note: It’s difficult to find an individual chicken breast small enough for one portion.

Tip: Oiling a grill rack before you grill foods helps ensure that the food won’t stick.

Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack.

(Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to coat the food with cooking spray.
