Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
Seasoning
- 2 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano and basil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the griddle: Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high and drizzle the surface with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs for a robust taste.
- Sear the chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the hot griddle and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until they develop a golden brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 165°F, ensuring they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Sauté the garlic: Reduce the heat slightly and add the minced garlic to the griddle, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant but not burnt, which will infuse the chicken with rich garlic flavor.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken breasts. Cover the chicken with a lid or aluminum foil to help the cheese melt evenly over 2-3 minutes.
- Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes to retain juices. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley before serving for added color and freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting quality and flavor.
- If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle, a cast iron skillet or other heavy-bottomed pan works well.
- Resting the chicken after cooking helps keep it juicy and tender.
- For a low-sodium option, reduce the salt to taste or use a salt substitute.
