CHEF'S KNIFE TIP:
When dicing the garlic, onion, and green pepper for the marinade, use a sharp chef's knife to ensure precision and uniformity in the cuts. Additionally, when grilling the chicken breasts, use a sharp chef's knife to check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the meat. If the juices run clear and there is no pinkness, the chicken is cooked.
