Tip
Brine the chicken if you didn’t marinate it. This is a game changer even if you can just do it for 15-30 minutes it will make your chicken 25% more juicy and cook more evenly. To brine just fill a bowl with lukewarm water (not hot), put in a handful of salt and let it sit for 15-20 minutes with a maximum of 5 hours. If brining for longer than 15-30 mins I suggest covering it with plastic wrap. After brining give it a quick rinse in cold water to get the salt off and dry it with paper towels.

Easy Perfect Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe In 23 Minutes
Ingredients
- 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breast. The preference is fresh chicken or you can purchase frozen of which you will have to completely thaw before using.
- 2 tbsp chicken or all-purpose seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Optional
- Your favorite seasoning or sauce for the style of chicken you are creating. Add some BBQ or teriyaki sauce or a taco seasoning packet?
- The marinades can also be used as ideas for spices to use if you don’t have time to marinade.
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 400-425 degrees.
- Clean grill and then oil grill with a brush ideally.
- Rub your chicken in oil so it doesn’t stick to the foil.
- Rub your chicken with your seasoning or sauce.
- Lightly re-drizzle with oil to help from sticking and sprinkle a little more seasoning.
- Cook on each side for 5-8 minutes brushing with your sauce before and after flip.
- If you have a meat thermometer be sure to check for an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Rest. Remove the chicken from the heat and ideally cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and not run out when you cut into it.
