Juicy Grilled Chicken
The secret to making juicy grilled chicken each and every time is what you do before and after you cook your chicken.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts sliced to make 4 breasts
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves mashed or minced
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tsp oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Take each slice of chicken and place it under plastic wrap. Pound them out until they reach one thickness.
- Stab each chicken on both sides all over with a fork. Add to a clean bowl.
- Mix the marinade up and pour over the chicken, making sure every breast is covered. Leave on the counter for ~20 minutes, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours (letting come to room temperature ~30 minutes before cooking).
- Heat a grill pan over medium high heat. Spray with oil. Grill each chicken for ~4–4.5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperate reaches just about 165 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken and let sit in a pot with the lid on for ~10 minutes before slicing.
