Say goodbye to dry, bland grilled chicken breasts. This recipe guarantees juicy, flavorful chicken every time.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1¾ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1½ teaspoons lemon zest, from one lemon

Steps:

  • One at a time, place the chicken breasts in a 1-gallon zip-lock bag; using a meat mallet, pound to an even ½-inch thickness.
  • Mix all of the ingredients except for the chicken together in a 1-gallon zip-lock bag (go ahead and use the same one you used for pounding if it is still in good shape). Add the chicken breasts to the bag and massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated. Seal the bag and place in a bowl in the refrigerator (the bowl protects against leakage); let the chicken marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat and oil the grates. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcook. Transfer the chicken to a platter and serve.

SIMPLY GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS



Simply Grilled Chicken Breasts image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 52m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Roasted Tomato and Onion Dipping Sauce, recipe follows, optional
5 Roma tomatoes, halved (about 1 pound)*
1 yellow or white onion, quartered
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 to 2 tablespoons water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix the vegetable oil with the smashed garlic, using a fork to help release the garlic flavor into the oil. Season the garlic mixture with salt, and pepper, to taste. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prep the chicken breasts. Rinse and dry the chicken thoroughly. Find the ridge along the side of the chicken breast, and carefully pull off the tender. Take each breast and pound gently to an even thickness. Do not pound too thin; the breast will not be completely uniform. If there is a skinny little triangular tip, go ahead and cut off and discard. Prep the tenders by slicing off any jagged edges. Liberally salt and pepper the chicken and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill to hot.
  • Once the chicken has rested, brush liberally with the garlic-infused vegetable oil. Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill, with the thicker portion facing the hotter part of your grill (usually the back). Allow the chicken breasts to cook undisturbed until char marks are made, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken, keeping the thick part of the chicken toward the hot part of the flame, and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the chicken reads 155 degrees F, about 3 more minutes. Place the chicken tenders on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes total, turning halfway through. Allow the grilled chicken to rest for 5 minutes, covered, before serving.
  • Serve with Roasted Onion Tomato and Onion Dipping Sauce, if using.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Place the halved tomatoes, onions, and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half the olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. Toss to coat well. Place the tomatoes cut-side down, and cook for 2 hours turning the tomatoes after 1 hour. After the second hour, remove the baking sheet, and set aside the unpeeled garlic. Place the rest of the vegetables and the pan juices in a food processor or blender. Add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan to scrape up any bits of flavor stuck onto the baking sheet and add to the food processor. Squeeze out the soft flesh of the roasted garlic into the food processor and add the remaining olive oil. Pulse the mixture until chunky, or puree until smooth, depending on desired consistency. Taste the sauce and season with salt, and pepper, if necessary.
  • Yield: about 1 1/4 cups
  • *Cook's Note: The tomatoes do not have to be "good" tomatoes.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST



Grilled Chicken Breast image

The BEST grilled chicken breast and marinade recipe! An easy method for making tender, moist grilled chicken breasts every time. So Juicy!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 medium breasts)
1 batch best Chicken Marinade* (see notes)
Chopped fresh herbs (crumbled feta cheese, a squeeze of lemon juice, optional for serving)
Oil (for grilling)

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board (leave several inches between them and work in batches as needed). Cover with plastic wrap to keep things tidy, and with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or your fist, pound the chicken to an even thickness. It doesn't need to be ultra thin-just make sure the middle is fairly even with the ends (the chicken should be about 1/2-inch thick).
  • With a fork, poke holes all over the chicken (this will allow the marinade to absorb).
  • In a large ziptop bag, combine the marinade ingredients, then add the chicken.
  • Seal the bag to evenly coat the chicken with the marinade. Place in a pan or bowl to catch any drips. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate it to marinate for up to 12 hours (5 to 6 hours is ideal). Even 15 minutes is better than nothing!
  • When ready to grill, preheat the grill to high (475 degrees F). If your chicken has been in the refrigerator, remove it and allow it to come to room temperature for at least 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grates.
  • Place the chicken on the grill presentation (smooth) side down, shaking off any excess marinade. Cover the grill and let cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, then flip. The chicken should lift easily off the grill; if it sticks, allow it to cook another minute or two.
  • Recover the grill and cook for an additional 4 to 8 minutes. Chicken is considered done at 165 degrees F. I like to remove chicken from the grill around the 155-160 degree F mark and allow it to finish cooking while resting. DO NOT OVERCOOK, or your chicken will be dry.
  • Place the chicken on a plate and let rest for at least 5 minutes (resting is mandatory!). Add any desired toppings or sauces. Enjoy!

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SPICY YELLOW PEPPER PURéE



Grilled Chicken Breasts with Spicy Yellow Pepper Purée image

Categories     Chicken     Mustard     Bake     Low Fat     Low Cal     Bell Pepper     Spring     Cilantro     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 pounds yellow bell peppers (about 8)
1 1/4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 skinless boneless whole chicken breasts (1 1/2 pounds total), halved
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
2 orange bell peppers, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander sprigs (wash and dry before chopping) if desired
Accompaniment:Coriander Rice

Steps:

  • Lightly coat rack of a broiler pan or a baking sheet with cooking spray. Preheat broiler.
  • Quarter yellow peppers, discarding stems, seeds, and ribs. Put quartered peppers, skin sides down, on broiler rack or baking sheet and broil about 2 inches from heat until just tender and edges are dark brown, about 10 minutes. In a bowl let peppers steam, covered, 10 minutes. In a blender purée roasted peppers (unpeeled) with 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and pour through a sieve into a small saucepan.
  • In a small bowl whisk together mustard, remaining 3/4 teaspoon chili powder, and 2 teaspoons olive oil.
  • Prepare grill.
  • Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Brush tops with mustard mixture and grill, coated sides down, on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 6 minutes. Turn chicken and grill 6 minutes more, or until cooked through. (Alternatively, chicken may be grilled in 2 batches in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderate heat, turning once, 6 minutes and then baked in a preheated 450° F. oven 5 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through.)
  • While chicken is grilling, in a large non-stick skillet heat remaining teaspoon olive oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté pepper strips with salt and pepper to taste, stirring, until golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes. While pepper strips are sautéing, heat roasted pepper purée over low heat until hot.
  • Arrange pepper strips on 4 plates and top with chicken. Drizzle chicken with some sauce and sprinkle with coriander. Serve chicken with rice if desired and remaining sauce on side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken breasts. Marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help them stay moist and flavorful.
  • Grill the chicken breasts over medium heat. This will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook the chicken breasts until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken breasts should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken breasts, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken breasts with spicy yellow pepper puree is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The chicken breasts are moist and flavorful, and the spicy yellow pepper puree adds a nice kick. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal.
