Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat until hot. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6–7 minutes per side, until the exterior is deeply golden with clear grill marks and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes, then slice crosswise into 1/2-inch strips.
