Lift the chicken breasts from the bowl (let some of the marinade cling to the chicken) and place on a plate. Season evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the chicken, smooth (skin) side down first, over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the meat is firm to the touch and opaque all the way to the center, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once or twice. Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut the chicken crosswise into 12-millimeter slices.
