Blackstone easy chicken breast is such a new and exciting addition to my cooking repertoire, especially in summer when preparing a hot meal inside seems ridiculous.

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and ensures a good sear.
  2. Season: Drizzle avocado oil over the chicken, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, oregano, and lemon zest. Rub the seasonings into the chicken on both sides.
  3. Heat the Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Once hot, drizzle a little avocado oil over the surface.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the griddle. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on the first side until golden brown and quickly released from the griddle.
  5. Flip and Finish: Flip the chicken and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the griddle and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This locks in the juices.

Tips and Variations

  • Even Thickness: To ensure even cooking, ensure your chicken breasts are of uniform thickness. If they’re too thick on one end, gently pound them with a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pan.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Griddle: Give each chicken breast enough space to cook properly. Overcrowding can cause the breasts to steam rather than sear.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to get creative! Try marinades like teriyaki, honey mustard, or a spicy buffalo mix to keep things exciting.
  • Use fresh herbs:  Fresh herbs enhance the flavor and add a pop of colour, making your dish look as good as it tastes.

Serving Suggestions

These Blackstone Chicken Breast Recipes are versatile and pair well with various sides. Here are a few of my favorites:

Grilled vegetables: Think bell peppers, zucchini, and asparagus for a healthy and colorful addition.

Crispy Potatoes: Whether roasted, mashed, or fried, potatoes are always a crowd-pleaser.

Fresh Salads: A crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette complements the savory chicken perfectly.

Rice or Quinoa: For a hearty meal, serve the chicken over fluffy rice or protein-packed quinoa.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze cooked chicken breasts for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheating: Warm the chicken in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
