Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano and basil)
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Preheat Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil to create a non-stick surface for cooking.
- Season Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and the dried Italian herbs for a flavorful crust.
- Sear Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the hot griddle and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F to guarantee doneness.
- Sauté Garlic: Reduce the heat slightly and add the minced garlic to the griddle. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not burnt, infusing the oil with flavor.
- Melt Parmesan: Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over each chicken breast. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and let it melt for 2-3 minutes, forming a cheesy topping.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley, then serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to check that chicken reaches 165°F for food safety.
- If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle, a cast-iron skillet or grill pan can be used instead.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with olive oil and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Make sure not to burn the garlic when sautéing; keep the heat moderate.
- This dish pairs well with a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or roasted potatoes.
