Cut the chicken breasts into thick strips or large chunks. Add the chicken to the marinade and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates if necessary.

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers (if using) or place directly on the grill. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

In the last 2 minutes of grilling, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken. Close the grill lid or cover with foil to allow the cheese to melt.
