Combine first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag; seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning occasionally.

Coat an ovenproof Dutch oven with cooking spray; add 1-1/2 teaspoons oil, and place over medium-high heat until hot. Remove 4 chicken breasts from plastic bag, and add to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan; set aside, and keep warm.
