Ingredients to make Chicken Breast on the Blackstone
For these griddle chicken breasts, we’re going with a simple seasoning rub. You could use your favorite chicken seasonings or even a marinade. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast – if you have small chicken breasts – they’re probably good as-is, if you have the large ones – you’ll want to butterfly them. See “instructions” for more info
- Seasoning Rub: olive oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, cumin, Tajin (chili lime), Salt & Pepper
This recipe was made using the Blackstone Griddle.

How to make Chicken Breasts on a Blackstone
The key here is you don’t want a DRY chicken breast – so you need to be sure your chicken is even thickness. The easiest way to achieve this is by butterflying the chicken and slicing in two pieces. After that – it’s smooth sailing! Here are the details for this easy recipe:
- If using large chicken breasts, butterfly and slice chicken breast in half. Try and have chicken breasts the same thickness throughout. If you’re using small 4 oz chicken breasts – you can probably keep them as-is.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, cumin, Tajin, sea salt and black pepper
- Coat chicken breasts with seasoning paste on both sides
- Preheat your Blackstone outdoor griddle over medium heat. You might be tempted to do medium high heat – but trust me – medium is fine – you’ll still get a good sear and it won’t dry out your chicken! Check the temp with your infrared thermometer gun and the cooktop should be about 250-275º.
- Squirt griddle with a thin layer of vegetable oil or avocado oil over cooking area.
- Place seasoned chicken breasts onto hot griddle. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Using an instant read meat thermometer, check temperature of chicken breasts in the thickest part of the breast. Remove chicken from the griddle when the internal temperature reaches 155°F.
- Remove from the griddle and let rest for 5-10 minutes until temperature reaches 165º. You can tent with foil to keep them warm. Resting helps seal in the juices for the chicken.

Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Yes! Boneless skinless chicken thighs work just as well – because they’re smaller – they may cook even quicker.
