Description

This Blackstone Griddle Chicken Breast recipe offers a flavorful and juicy way to prepare boneless skinless chicken breasts using a simple marinade and cooked on a Blackstone griddle or stovetop. The marinade combines mayonnaise, avocado oil, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, dried thyme, and spices to tenderize and infuse the chicken with a savory, slightly spicy flavor. Perfect for a quick and delicious weeknight meal, this method ensures the chicken stays tender and moist with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil (plus more for the griddle or skillet)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Main Ingredient

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, avocado oil, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, dried thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, stirring until well mixed.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a zip-top plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow flavors to penetrate and tenderize the meat.
  3. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle: Remove chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade. Heat the Blackstone griddle to low to medium heat, aiming for about 350°F. Drizzle or spray additional avocado oil onto the griddle surface to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Chicken on Griddle: Place the chicken breasts on the hot griddle. Cook for 7 minutes on one side, then flip.
  5. Finish Cooking: Cook the flipped chicken for another 7 to 10 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 160°F, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
  6. Rest the Chicken: Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a plate and tent loosely with foil. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute for maximum tenderness.
  7. Alternative Stove Top Method: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of oil. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken overnight yields the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and ensure food safety.
  • Avocado oil is preferred for its high smoke point, but other neutral oils can be used.
  • If you do not have a Blackstone griddle, a heavy skillet or grill pan works well.
  • Resting the chicken after cooking is essential for juicy results.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level or omit for milder flavor.
