Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients in the Marinade group.
Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or container and pour marinade over them. Ensure chicken is fully coated.
Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
While chicken marinates, prepare the Sauce. In a small saucepan, combine all Sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until butter is melted and sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush chicken with the Sauce.
Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with remaining Sauce.
