Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the rolls.
