Grilled Chicken Breast

An easy all-purpose grilling recipe! Lean chicken breasts are soaked in a solution that's a cross between a marinade and brine (AKA brinerating) and it leaves you with perfectly juicy and flavorful chicken! Just be sure to take internal temperature of chicken to test for doneness so it doesn't end up overcooked and dry.

📝 Preparation Steps

Place chicken on a cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and pound chicken with the flat side of meat mallet to help even out its thickness (it should be about 3/4-inch thick).

Transfer chicken breasts to a resealable bag.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, chicken broth, garlic, honey, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour mixture over chicken in bag then seal bag while pressing excess air out and rub marinade over.
