1. Mix all ingredients-except the thawed boneless skinless chicken breasts-in a large ZipLoc bag. Mix well.
2. Place thawed chicken breasts in the bag and seal tight. Rotate bag to coat chicken.
3. Refrigerate the chicken for at least eight hours. I like to marinate overnight. Remove chicken from the bag.
