Add chicken breasts to the bag and refrigerate overnight. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush with the oil. Either grill on an outdoor grill until internal temp reaches 165 or in the oven at 450 degrees for 25 minutes. Serve with sprigs of cilantro and slices of cucumber or lemon.
