Grilled Chicken Breast
This recipe for Grilled Chicken Breast is a quick and easy way to make dinner in 30 minutes or less! We're sharing all our tips and tricks on how to keep your chicken extra juicy when cooked on the grill.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast, boneless or on bone
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
Instructions
- Clean and trim chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Brush olive oil on both sides of chicken. Generously season chicken breasts with garlic salt and pepper.
- Heat the grill to medium heat 350°F. Brush olive oil on the grill grates or use a high heat non-stick spray.
- Place chicken breast directly onto the prepared grates. Close the lid and keep an eye on the temperature. If you have thinner chicken breast they will cook very quickly, so keep the meat thermometer handy to watch the temperature.
- Flip the chicken after 10 minutes and continue to grill for approximately 10 more minutes. Grill the chicken until you reach an internal temperature of 165°F degrees. (If you are grilling thinner cuts of chicken flip between 6-8 minutes.)
- When the chicken has reached 165°F, remove chicken from the grill and wrap the breasts in foil for 5 minutes before serving.
Equipment
- Grill
Notes
Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 3 months! I love having chicken on hand for easy weeknight dinners, soups and casseroles, so I usually double this recipe!
