Grilled Fusion Chicken

Juicy marinated grilled chicken with optional fresh cilantro for garnish.
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Trim any visible fat from the chicken breasts and pound or trim them so they are an even thickness.
  • Make several small crosswise slits in each breast to allow the marinade to penetrate and to help the thicker parts cook evenly.
  • Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or an airtight container and pour in your marinade, making sure all pieces are coated.
  • Refrigerate and marinate for 4–6 hours, turning occasionally; you may marinate longer if desired.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-high and oil the grates or spray with nonstick spray.
  • Place chicken on the grill diagonally and cook about 4 minutes, then rotate the pieces to create crosshatch grill marks and cook another 4 minutes.
  • Flip the chicken and cook about 4 minutes more, or until the chicken feels firm and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F (75°C).
  • Remove from the grill, let rest briefly, and serve hot garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.

Equipment

  • grill (or stovetop grill pan or electric grill)
  • zip-top bag or airtight container
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer
  • basting brush or oil spray

Notes

  • Marinate at least 4 hours for best flavor.
  • Even thickness ensures even cooking.
  • Use a thermometer to confirm 165°F (75°C) doneness.
  • Grill pan or electric grill can be used as alternatives.
