I have been experimenting with cooking temperatures and times on my gas grill, and the best temperature and time combination for grilling chicken breasts (sans bones) is 450-475F for 6 minutes on each side. Not only does it come out super juicy, but the higher temperature makes much nicer grill marks. I would also suggest tenderizing your chicken breast with a mallot and/or a fork to even out the meat thickness so it cooks more evenly and to soften the meat.
When it comes time to grilling, make sure that when you throw your chicken breasts on the grill that you do it very quickly so that too much of the heat does not escape and that your grill can rebound from a small temperature drop instead of a very large drop. Leaving it open for as little as 30 seconds drop the temperature down as much as 150F, and that changes the grilling equation.
Let me know if you have luck with my recommended temperature and time for chicken breast!
