DIRECTIONS

Blend all ingredients except for chicken until smooth. Place chicken in a large sealable plastic food storage bag and pour on the marinade. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal it.

Carefully agitate the bag to disperse ingredients and assure all chicken has been coated in marinade. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 5-15 hours.

Grill chicken to an internal temperature of 165 °F at the thickest part of the chicken breast. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serve.
