Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat until very hot. Place the chicken on the grill and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside has clear grill marks and releases easily from the surface. Flip and cook for another 5–6 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part.
