KRAFT KITCHEN'S TIPS:.
NOTE: To prevent chicken from sticking to the grill, spray the unheated rack away from the fire with cooking spray or brush with oil.
USE YOUR BROILER: Cook chicken under the broiler instead of on the grill.

Tips:

For succulent chicken breasts, brine them in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the chicken retain moisture and flavor.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
To prevent the chicken breasts from drying out, cook them over medium heat and avoid overcooking.
For a crispy skin, sear the chicken breasts in a hot skillet before finishing them in the oven.
Serve the chicken breasts with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, vegetables, or salad.
