Time 1h

Yield 2 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon olive oil

1 cup chicken broth or stock
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are evenly sized and have a pinkish color. Avoid any chicken that has a slimy texture or an off smell.
  • Tenderize the chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or rolling pin helps to break down the muscle fibers and make the chicken more tender.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps to add flavor and moisture to the chicken.
  • Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the chicken breasts and prevent them from sticking. Aim for a grill temperature of around 400°F (200°C).
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If your grill has a lid, close the lid during cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken breasts are a healthy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can grill chicken breasts that are tender, juicy, and flavorful. Serve the grilled chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. Enjoy!
