For Grilling: Cook chicken on each side for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. (You should check your chicken for done-ness using a meat thermometer to ensure it is properly cooked. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.)
Once grilled, place chicken breasts on a plate and brush the chili sauce on while hot.

Let the chicken rest, covered with foil, for 5 minutes, then slice them into thin strips.
Put tortillas in foil wrap and put on grill for a few minutes. Pile chicken on tortillas. Top with watermelon salsa.
