Chicken breasts are one of the most popular and also one of the easiest items to grill. It’s also easy to produce chicken jerky if you don’t know what you are doing. These step by step directions will show you how to easily grill delicious, juicy chicken. There are so many variations with rubs, sauces and marinades that we could probably do a whole site on chicken. We will cover some of these variations in time, but this recipe is great for a quick and easy meal. The great thing about boneless, skinless chicken breasts is that you can cook them over direct, high heat without much risk for flare-ups since they are so lean. This means you can cook them really quickly and sear in all of those juices. Ok, we know you are ready to get started, so let’s take a look at step by step directions.
Step 1 - Light the grill and leave it on high for direct heat grilling. Make sure you clean the grates before they get too hot. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to oil your grates either, you can do this with a folded paper towel, tongs and some cooking oil.
Step 2 - Rinse the chicken breasts under cold running water and then blot dry with paper towels.
Step 3 - Season you chicken with whatever seasoning you like. This could be as easy a little kosher salt and some fresh ground pepper. We like to use some simple Greek Seasoning, you can find it on the spice aisle and it makes for some really delicious chicken breasts.
Step 4 - Place the breast on the hottest part of the grill and don’t touch them for 2 minutes. As shown in the photo below, you can actually tell that the chicken breast is cooking through, they will get more and more opaque as they cook.

Grilled Chicken Breast
Make sure you allow the chicken breasts to cool for about 2 minutes so that the juices have time to redistribute. See, we told you this was easy! You can even keep a bag of frozen, boneless and skinless breasts in the freezer for last minute meal options. Remember, not everyone loves steak (I know, weird right?) so it’s always good to keep some frozen chickn breasts around to throw on the grill so those folks have something to enjoy. Try them with some greek seasoning, they’ll be delicious! Pick up a VillaWare Pizza Grill and use this chicken recipe as the filler to some killer grilled quesadillas.
