Simple Grilled Chicken Breast

This is an easy recipe with minimal cleanup. It's great to make in bulk and use throughout the week in salads, soups, or tacos, just to name a few. After chicken rests for 2-3 minutes, use a knife to remove any pieces that are overly charred. Allow chicken to cool before storing in a sealed container in the fridge. Properly stored chicken is good for up to 4 days.
