Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs or 680 grams)
Cheese and Seasonings:
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the Blackstone griddle to 375°F (190°C) over medium flame. Ensure the surface is evenly warm and lightly oiled.
- Combine 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning in a small mixing bowl. Create a smooth, fragrant paste.
- Pat your chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Massage the garlic mixture thoroughly into each 6-ounce breast, covering every surface completely.
- Place seasoned chicken on the hot griddle. Cook for 6-7 minutes without moving, allowing a golden-brown crust to develop.
- Flip chicken carefully. Continue cooking 6-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches exactly 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese over each chicken breast during the final 2 minutes of cooking.
- Close griddle lid briefly to help cheese melt and create a crispy exterior.
- Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Allow 4-5 minutes of resting time before slicing to preserve juiciness.
Notes
- Ensure the griddle is properly heated to achieve those perfect golden-brown grill marks on your chicken.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature and avoid overcooking, which can dry out the chicken.
- For a low-carb or keto-friendly version, swap out any additional seasonings to match your dietary needs.
- Fresh grated parmesan melts better and provides a richer flavor compared to pre-packaged shredded cheese.
