Instructions
 

Preparing and Marinating Chicken

  • Slice your green onion and combine in a bowl with your chicken breasts
  • Combine remaining ingredients in the bowl, making sure sure all pieces of chicken are well coated on both sides. Let chicken rest in the fridge for at least an hour.

Grilling

  • Before you start grilling, make sure to preheat your grill to about 400 degrees. Use the remaining olive oil to brush the grill
  • Once your grill has been heated, go ahead and place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook the chicken on one side for about four minutes, or until you get a good sear and then lower the temperature to 350 and close the lid of the grill.
  • After you have cooked the chicken on one side at 350 degrees, go ahead and flip the chicken and cook for 15 minutes with the lid closed.
  • To be safe, you want to make sure that your chicken is cooked to 165-170 degrees. Once your chicken has cooked to at least 165 degrees, remove from heat and allow to rest for about 5 minutes so that the juices can redistribute evenly.
  • Serve your chicken with a colorful salad or side and devour it up!
