Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook the chicken breasts until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Top with cilantro and serve.
