In a small bowl, whisk together the raspberry vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Brush the chicken breasts lightly with vegetable oil to ensure even grilling.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Serve the grilled chicken breasts warm with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
