Coat chicken thoroughly with the marinade in a resealable bag or dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
Step 2: Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature hits 165°F (75°C).

Step 4: Flavor the Rice
Mix rice with lime juice and cilantro for a bright, refreshing base.
