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.

Tips, Tricks & FAQs
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.
