Best Ways to make Grilled Chicken
When you’re cooking boneless skinless chicken breast fillets – it can be tough to cook them so they’re juicy and have flavor. Here are three ways to cook them with my tips & tricks included!
- Phantom Grill Pan – This grill pan from Phantom is great!! It’s die-cast aluminum and non-stick. It’s also so pretty! This one is from the Granite collection – I got grey because it’s simple but they have great colors!!! (I see a pink pan in my future!)
- Start by searing the chicken on 7/8 and then bring the heat down to 3/4 and turn to cook all sides until internal temperature reaches 160º (about 15 minutes). Let chicken rest for 5 minutes and then slice to serve.
- Air Fryer – this is my #1 way to cook chicken. Marinate overnight in Italian dressing or coat both sides with seasoning salt. Pop in the air fryer at 360º – 12 minutes for small chicken breasts – up to 18 min for larger. Juicy every time!!!!
- You can also grab the breaded chicken breasts if you want more crunch!
- Grill – if you’ve got the grill going – throw on some chicken breasts and use them during the week for salads!
