Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (about 6 oz per breast)
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Prepare chicken breasts by placing them in a sealable bag (I used a Stasher bag) and add the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Massage the marinade into the chicken until it is fully coated and store in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Pre-heat grill to medium-high heat and using tongs, grill your chicken breasts for 5-6 min per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. For larger chicken breasts (like the ones from Costco) grill for 6-8 minutes per side.
- Wrap your cooked chicken in foil and let sit for 5 minutes before cutting
- Serve with your favorite sides or on top of a salad
