Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
Seasonings and Toppings
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano and basil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs to infuse the chicken with aromatic flavors.
- Heat the griddle or skillet: Preheat your Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the extra virgin olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Sear the chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the hot griddle or skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving to ensure a crispy, golden brown crust forms.
- Flip and add garlic: Flip the chicken breasts carefully. Immediately add the minced garlic over the chicken, allowing it to release its aroma and gently infuse the meat as it cooks.
- Top with Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over each chicken breast. Continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese melts into a flavorful crust.
- Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and ensures tender, moist chicken.
Notes
- You can substitute dried Italian herbs with fresh chopped herbs like basil and oregano if available.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before cooking with a splash of lemon juice and olive oil.
- If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle, a cast-iron skillet works just as well for this recipe.
- Ensure not to overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
