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!

1¾ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Add the chicken breasts to the bag and massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated.

Provided by Marie

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup flour
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons salad oil
2 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves crushed garlic
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup red wine
2 tomatoes, skinned,seeded and chopped
1/4 cup Greek olive, pitted and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper chicken and dredge in flour.
  • Saute in salad oil over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side or until done.
  • Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Place olive oil in same pan and add garlic and onion and saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add wine and tomatoes and cook for one minute.
  • Add olives and cook for another minute.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove pan from heat and add basil and feta cheese.
  • Place chicken breasts on serving plates and top with tomato olive mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices helps to add flavor and keep the chicken moist during grilling.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before adding the chicken. This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat: Once the chicken is grilled, move it to the indirect heat side of the grill and continue to cook until it is cooked through. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked through, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken breasts are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following these tips, you can make sure that your grilled chicken breasts are cooked perfectly every time. The tomato, olive, and feta relish is a great addition to grilled chicken breasts, and it adds a burst of flavor and freshness.
