How to Grill Chicken Breasts
If desired, you can always brine your chicken breasts first to ensure they stay juicy. However, I rarely plan that far ahead, so this is a quick method for grilling up some tasty chicken!
- Toss chicken with olive oil and seasoning and let sit in bowl to sort of quick marinate while you prepare other ingredients and heat the grill
- Ensure you shake off any excess oil from the chicken before putting it on the grill so that the oil does not cause a flare up.
- Grill the chicken at a medium to medium high heat. I prefer cooking them on my Traeger over a longer time, but you can cook them on a regular gas grill as well.
- You want to keep the temp so that the chicken will have time to cook through without burning the outsides
A few more tips
- ensure chicken breasts are similar size and thickness for even cooking
- ideal size for chicken sandwiches is about 8 oz per breast – mine were 16oz so I cut them in half
- feel free to sub homemade seasoning for store bought
Make it a meal:
Serve with crispy grilled potatoes and a side of spicy coleslaw!
