Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasonings:
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Fire up the Blackstone griddle to 400°F (204°C), creating a slick surface with 1 tablespoon olive oil across the cooking area.
- Mince 4 garlic cloves finely and combine with 4 tablespoons melted butter in a small mixing bowl, creating a fragrant garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning evenly across both sides of 4 chicken breasts, ensuring complete coverage.
- Position chicken breasts carefully on the hot griddle, allowing each piece 5-6 minutes of direct contact on the first side until golden brown edges appear.
- Flip chicken breasts after first side cooks, then immediately brush generously with prepared garlic butter mixture.
- Continue cooking second side for another 5-6 minutes, checking that internal temperature reaches precisely 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
- During final minute of cooking, shower each chicken breast with ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, letting it melt and create a delicate crispy coating.
- Transfer chicken to serving plate and scatter freshly chopped parsley across the top for bright color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches exactly 165°F for perfect food safety and juicy results.
- If cooking for dairy-free diets, substitute ghee or olive oil for butter and skip the parmesan cheese.
- Choose chicken breasts of similar thickness so they cook evenly on the griddle surface.
- Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking to help retain its moisture and make cutting easier.
