Garlic Parmesan Grilled Chicken on Blackstone Griddle

There’s just something about grilled chicken that feels like summer, even if you’re cooking it in the middle of fall. And when that grilled chicken is infused with smoky paprika, a savory spice blend, and then finished with a garlicky, buttery Parmesan sauce? It’s game over—in the best way. This garlic Parmesan grilled chicken cooked on the Blackstone griddle is about to become a go-to favorite in your weekly dinner rotation.

I first came across this flavor combo when experimenting with ways to level up our usual grilled chicken routine. We were stuck in a bit of a rut—basic salt and pepper, maybe a squeeze of lemon, and that was about it. But one weekend, I decided to play around with a garlic butter sauce and a few handfuls of Parmesan, and let me tell you, it completely transformed our dinner. It was juicy, savory, slightly spicy from the red pepper flakes, and rich in the kind of flavor that makes people ask for seconds. And thirds.

The best part? It’s all done on the Blackstone griddle, which means you get that perfect golden sear and those gorgeous grill marks without having to fuss with a full-blown grill setup. Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just making a quick weeknight meal, this dish comes together effortlessly and tastes like something you’d order at a fancy restaurant.

It’s also incredibly versatile. You can serve it over rice, toss it into a salad, wrap it in flatbread, or just eat it straight off the griddle with a fork. It’s that good. And if you’re new to the Blackstone or a little nervous about grilling chicken, don’t worry—I’ll walk you through every step with tips, tricks, and reassurance to keep things simple and stress-free.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

There are plenty of grilled chicken recipes out there, but this one stands out for so many reasons. First and foremost, the flavor is absolutely unforgettable. The spice blend hits all the right notes—smoky paprika, warm garlic and onion, a touch of heat, and just the right amount of salt to bring everything together. When paired with tender chicken tenderloins and that glorious garlic Parmesan butter sauce, it becomes a complete showstopper.

Another reason to love this recipe? It’s incredibly easy to make. The marinade takes just minutes to throw together, and the chicken only needs about an hour to soak up all that flavor. Once you’re ready to cook, the griddle does all the heavy lifting. You’ll be flipping and basting, but you won’t be hovering over a hot stove or trying to juggle multiple pots and pans. This is a one-surface meal that feels easy and manageable, even on busy nights.

This recipe is also family-friendly. Kids love the buttery, cheesy flavors, while adults appreciate the boldness of the garlic and red pepper flakes. You can easily dial the heat up or down depending on your preference, which makes it super customizable for different palates.

And let’s not forget about how well this dish pairs with other meals. Serve it over mashed potatoes, next to grilled vegetables, or sliced on top of a crisp salad. You can also meal prep it for the week, which means fewer takeout orders and more homemade goodness.

Whether you’re grilling for the first time or you’re a seasoned pro, this recipe is approachable, forgiving, and guaranteed to impress. Plus, it uses simple, everyday ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and fridge. No fancy equipment or specialty products required—just real food, great flavor, and a recipe that delivers every single time.

Health Benefits

It’s easy to assume that something slathered in garlic butter and Parmesan might not be the healthiest choice—but here’s the good news. This garlic Parmesan grilled chicken is not only rich in flavor but also offers a range of health benefits when enjoyed in moderation.

Let’s start with the star of the dish: chicken tenderloins. These cuts are lean, high in protein, and low in fat, making them a fantastic option for anyone looking to build muscle, support metabolism, or just eat a balanced, satisfying meal. Each serving of this chicken provides a solid dose of protein, which helps keep you full, supports your immune system, and aids in tissue repair.

Olive oil, which is used in the marinade, brings its own set of health perks. It’s a heart-healthy fat that’s rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Regular consumption of olive oil has been linked to lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and improved heart health overall.

Garlic isn’t just there for flavor—it’s a nutritional powerhouse. It has antibacterial properties, supports immune function, and has even been associated with improved blood pressure and cholesterol levels. When you use fresh garlic, as this recipe calls for, you’re getting those benefits in their most potent form.

Parmesan cheese, while often thought of as indulgent, actually offers a decent amount of calcium and protein. Since we’re using it in moderation, it adds richness and depth to the dish without overwhelming the nutritional balance.

Even the red pepper flakes and fresh parsley contribute more than just color and spice. Red pepper flakes may help boost metabolism and suppress appetite, while parsley is loaded with vitamin K and antioxidants that support bone health and detoxification.

So while this dish tastes decadent, it’s also surprisingly balanced. When paired with healthy sides like steamed veggies or a fresh salad, it can easily fit into a wholesome, nutrient-dense meal plan. It’s a great example of how real ingredients and thoughtful preparation can turn comfort food into fuel for your body and soul.

Preparation Time, Servings, and Nutritional Information

One of the reasons this recipe is so ideal for both weeknight dinners and weekend get-togethers is because it doesn’t take much time at all. From start to finish, you can have a flavorful, crowd-pleasing meal on the table in just over an hour—including marinating time.

Let’s break it down:

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Marinate Time: 1 hour (can be shortened to 30 minutes if you’re in a rush, but an hour is ideal)
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes total
Total Time: Around 1 hour and 20 minutes

This recipe yields about 4 to 6 servings, depending on appetite and how you choose to serve it. If you’re serving it with sides like rice, potatoes, or veggies, it can easily stretch to feed more people.

Now, let’s talk nutritional breakdown. These numbers are estimates per serving, assuming the recipe makes 6 servings:

Calories per serving: 375
Protein: 35 grams
Carbohydrates: 2 grams
Fat: 24 grams
Fiber: 0 grams
Sugar: 0 grams
Sodium: 580 mg

These values are approximate and can vary based on the exact size of your chicken tenderloins and how much sauce you end up using. If you’re following a specific dietary plan or tracking macros, it’s always a good idea to measure out portions accordingly.

This meal is naturally low in carbs, making it a great option for those following low-carb or keto-friendly diets. It’s also gluten-free as long as you verify that your Parmesan and hot sauce are free from additives containing gluten.

And because the flavors are bold and satisfying, you’ll feel like you’re indulging—even though the meal is built around simple, wholesome ingredients. That’s a win in every sense.

Ingredients List

To make this Garlic Parmesan Grilled Chicken, you’ll need just a handful of pantry staples and a few fresh ingredients. Everything on this list is easy to find, budget-friendly, and packed with flavor.

For the Chicken

• 2 lbs chicken tenderloins – This cut cooks quickly and stays tender. You can also use chicken breasts sliced into strips or boneless, skinless thighs if preferred.
• 2 tablespoons olive oil – Helps the spice blend adhere to the chicken and adds moisture and healthy fats.

Spice Blend

• 2 teaspoons paprika – Adds a subtle smokiness and rich color to the chicken. You can use sweet or smoked paprika depending on your flavor preference.
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder – Boosts the garlicky depth in the chicken marinade.
• 1 teaspoon onion powder – Adds a savory background flavor that balances well with the garlic.
• ½ teaspoon salt – Enhances all the other spices and brings out the natural flavor of the chicken.
• ½ teaspoon pepper – A hint of sharpness to give the marinade a little kick.

For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce

• 1 stick salted butter – This is the base of the sauce, making it rich and velvety. If using unsalted butter, just add an extra pinch of salt.
• 10 cloves garlic, minced – Yes, ten! The more garlic, the better when it comes to this sauce. It mellows as it cooks in butter, creating a sweet, nutty flavor.
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese – Adds that unmistakable salty, nutty bite. Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best results.
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce – Adds a gentle tang and just the right amount of heat. Choose your favorite brand and spice level.
• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes – Optional but highly recommended for those who like a little heat.
• ⅓ cup fresh parsley, minced – Adds color and a fresh, slightly peppery flavor to the sauce.

These ingredients come together beautifully to create a dish that’s bold, savory, and satisfying. You likely already have most of them on hand, and if not, they’re easy to grab on your next grocery run.

Step-By-Step Cooking Instructions

Cooking this Garlic Parmesan Grilled Chicken on the Blackstone griddle is a straightforward and rewarding process. If you’re new to using a flat-top grill like the Blackstone, don’t worry—I’ll walk you through every step, from marinating to basting to serving, with plenty of helpful tips and encouraging advice along the way.

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Marinade

Start by gathering your ingredients and clearing a clean workspace. Pat your chicken tenderloins dry with paper towels. This step is important because it helps the marinade adhere better and allows the chicken to sear beautifully once it hits the griddle.

In a large mixing bowl, combine your spice blend: 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Stir to evenly mix the spices together.

Next, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix again until you have a paste-like mixture that’s easy to coat the chicken with.

Add the chicken tenderloins to the bowl and toss well, making sure each piece is fully coated with the spiced oil. You can use your hands or tongs for this part—just make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Once the chicken is coated, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer it to a zip-top bag. Place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour. If you’re really pressed for time, even 30 minutes will infuse some flavor, but an hour gives the best results.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce

While the chicken is marinating, you can go ahead and prepare the sauce. This rich, buttery garlic sauce is where the magic really happens.

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1 stick of salted butter. Once melted, add in your 10 cloves of minced garlic. Cook slowly, stirring often, for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn it—garlic can go from golden to bitter very quickly.

Once your garlic is nicely cooked, stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes (optional, if you like some heat), and ⅓ cup of minced fresh parsley.

Stir continuously until the Parmesan is melted and the sauce is well blended. Turn off the heat and set the pan aside. This sauce will thicken slightly as it sits. Be sure to divide the sauce—reserve about ⅓ of it in a separate small bowl for drizzling over the chicken after it’s cooked. The remaining sauce will be used for basting during the grilling process.

Step 3: Preheat the Blackstone Griddle

When you’re ready to cook, preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. This usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes. You want the surface hot enough to sear the chicken quickly and lock in the juices, but not so hot that it burns the outside before the inside is cooked through.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the griddle surface or use a heat-safe brush to lightly coat it. This helps prevent sticking and promotes even browning.

Step 4: Grill the Chicken

Carefully place your marinated chicken tenderloins on the hot griddle. Make sure to lay them flat and spaced apart—this ensures even cooking and allows that beautiful golden crust to develop.

Let the chicken cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes. You’ll start to see the sides turning opaque and you might notice a bit of caramelization forming on the underside.

Using tongs or a metal spatula, flip each piece of chicken. As soon as you flip them, grab your prepared garlic Parmesan sauce and start basting each piece generously. You don’t need to drown the chicken—just a nice coating will do.

Cook for another 5 minutes. Flip the chicken one more time and baste again. The butter from the sauce may cause a bit of sizzling and bubbling, which is exactly what you want—it’s flavor being built right into the meat.

Keep cooking and flipping every minute or so, basting as you go, until the internal temperature of each piece reaches 165°F. Depending on the thickness of your tenderloins, this should take about 10 to 15 minutes in total.

Step 5: Remove and Rest the Chicken

Once fully cooked, transfer the chicken to a clean plate or tray. Let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period is crucial—it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, keeping every bite moist and flavorful.

While the chicken is resting, give your reserved garlic Parmesan sauce a quick stir. If it’s thickened too much, you can warm it slightly on the stove or microwave it for 10–15 seconds.

Step 6: Serve with Extra Sauce

To serve, arrange your chicken on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle the reserved garlic Parmesan sauce over the top and sprinkle with a little extra fresh parsley for color. You can also add a bit more grated Parmesan if you want a stronger cheesy finish.

The result? Perfectly grilled chicken that’s tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The buttery sauce soaks into the meat, the garlic provides a warm depth, and the cheese gives it just the right level of indulgence.

This is the kind of meal that makes people pause mid-bite to say, “Wow.”

How to Serve these

This chicken is so versatile that you’ll find yourself coming back to it again and again for different types of meals. While it shines all on its own, here are some ideas to elevate your garlic Parmesan grilled chicken and make it part of a complete, balanced dinner.

One of the most classic and satisfying ways to serve this dish is with a side of buttery mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. The richness of the sauce pairs perfectly with creamy potatoes, and the freshness of the green beans adds a nice balance.

Another favorite option is to slice the grilled chicken and serve it over a bed of fluffy rice or quinoa. Spoon some extra garlic butter sauce on top, and maybe add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness. It becomes a hearty, one-bowl meal that’s great for lunch or dinner.

If you’re craving something lighter, consider turning the chicken into the star of a salad. Start with a base of mixed greens or baby spinach, add some cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, avocado, and toasted almonds. Top with sliced chicken and a drizzle of the remaining garlic sauce as your dressing. You won’t need much else—this combination is simple but satisfying.

The chicken also works beautifully in wraps or sandwiches. Tuck a few strips into a warm pita or tortilla with lettuce, tomato, and a bit of yogurt or hummus. It’s the perfect portable lunch, and it packs a serious flavor punch.

For a more indulgent twist, turn it into a garlic chicken pasta. Slice up the chicken and toss it with cooked pasta, steamed broccoli, and a little extra garlic Parmesan sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of cheese and fresh herbs, and you’ve got a restaurant-worthy dish in no time.

And if you’ve got leftovers, don’t worry—we’ll cover that in detail a little later. The bottom line is, no matter how you serve it, this garlic Parmesan grilled chicken brings bold, comforting flavor to the table every single time.

Pairing Suggestions

Now that you’ve got a beautifully grilled batch of garlic Parmesan chicken hot off the Blackstone, the next question is—what do you serve with it? The possibilities are endless, but here are some tried-and-true pairing suggestions that will turn your grilled chicken into a complete, well-rounded meal that’s as satisfying as it is delicious.

First up, let’s talk carbs. Garlic Parmesan grilled chicken pairs incredibly well with creamy sides that balance the boldness of the sauce. Think buttery mashed potatoes, roasted garlic smashed potatoes, or even a simple garlic-herb rice pilaf. These starchy sides soak up all that garlicky butter and make every bite feel extra indulgent.

If you’re looking for a lighter option, grilled vegetables are a perfect match. Zucchini, bell peppers, onions, asparagus, or even Brussels sprouts caramelize beautifully on the Blackstone right next to your chicken. Just toss them in a little olive oil and salt, then let them char until tender. Their natural sweetness balances the richness of the Parmesan and garlic.

For something fresh and bright, a crisp salad brings in that much-needed contrast. You can keep it simple with greens, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes, or build something more substantial with grains like farro or couscous. A lemon vinaigrette or creamy yogurt dressing adds a refreshing zing that cuts through the butteriness of the sauce.

If you want to keep things handheld and casual, serve the chicken in flatbreads or warm pitas with crunchy slaw or pickled onions. This combo brings both texture and tang, making it perfect for backyard dinners or a relaxed family night.

For a fun twist, serve your garlic Parmesan chicken with a side of seasoned fries or crispy potato wedges. The savory sauce is practically begging to be dipped, and the contrast of crispy and juicy textures is totally crave-worthy.

And of course, no meal is complete without something to sip on. For a non-alcoholic pairing, sparkling water with lemon or lime makes a clean, refreshing choice. You can also serve it with iced herbal tea, especially something citrusy or minty to complement the rich flavors of the dish.

Whether you’re going for cozy comfort or light and fresh, this garlic Parmesan grilled chicken fits beautifully into any meal plan. Pair it with what you love, and let the flavors shine.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

One of the best things about this garlic Parmesan grilled chicken is how well it holds up as leftovers. Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just meal-prepping for the week ahead, this dish stores, freezes, and reheats beautifully with a few simple tips.

Let’s start with refrigeration. If you have leftover chicken, let it cool to room temperature first—this helps prevent condensation in your storage container, which can make the chicken soggy. Once cooled, transfer the chicken into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh and flavorful for up to 3 days.

To reheat, you have a couple of options. For the best texture, reheat the chicken on the stovetop or on the Blackstone griddle over medium heat. Add a small splash of water or extra sauce to the pan, cover, and heat until warmed through. This method keeps the chicken juicy and helps the sauce re-melt into the meat.

If you’re in a hurry, the microwave works too. Just place the chicken on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and heat in 30-second intervals until warm. Be careful not to overheat, as this can dry the chicken out.

Freezing is also an option if you want to make a double batch and save some for later. To freeze, arrange the cooked chicken pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the freezer until solid (about an hour). Once frozen, transfer the chicken to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Be sure to label it with the date—it’ll stay good for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to eat, thaw the chicken in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat using your preferred method, and add a little fresh parsley or a quick drizzle of sauce to bring the flavors back to life.

For the sauce itself, you can also freeze it separately in small containers or ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop out individual portions and store them in a freezer bag. This makes it super easy to warm up just enough sauce for a quick lunch or weeknight dinner.

Whether you’re planning ahead or just managing leftovers, this chicken is just as good the next day—or the next week—as it is fresh off the griddle.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even with a recipe as straightforward as this one, there are a few common mistakes that can sneak up on you if you’re not careful. The good news? Once you know what to watch for, they’re super easy to avoid, and you’ll be set up for juicy, flavorful success every time.

The first mistake people often make is skipping the marinade or not giving it enough time to work its magic. While it might be tempting to rush, marinating for at least 30 to 60 minutes is crucial for tender, flavorful chicken. The olive oil and spices need time to penetrate the meat and really develop that rich taste you’re after.

Another big one is overcrowding the griddle. If your chicken pieces are too close together, they’ll steam instead of sear, and you’ll miss out on that delicious caramelization. Give each piece enough room to cook evenly and develop a golden crust.

Cooking the chicken on too high of a heat is also a common issue. While the Blackstone griddle gets hot fast, medium-high is the sweet spot for this recipe. Too much heat can burn the outside of the chicken before the inside is done, leaving you with dry or unevenly cooked meat.

Neglecting to check the internal temperature is another pitfall. Always aim for a temperature of 165°F at the thickest part of the chicken. Using a digital meat thermometer takes the guesswork out and ensures perfect results every time.

People also tend to forget the importance of resting the chicken after it’s cooked. Slicing it too early lets all those flavorful juices escape. Just a five-minute rest makes a world of difference in how moist and delicious the final result is.

And finally, don’t overlook the sauce. Some cooks forget to reserve a portion for serving or use it all for basting. Keeping a separate portion aside ensures that you have a fresh, non-contaminated drizzle to finish the dish off with that final garlicky, buttery punch.

By avoiding these small but common mistakes, you’ll elevate your garlic Parmesan chicken from good to absolutely unforgettable.

Pro Tips

When it comes to mastering this Garlic Parmesan Grilled Chicken, a few small techniques can take your dish from good to completely restaurant-worthy. Whether you’re a beginner or already confident in the kitchen, these pro tips will help you elevate the flavor, texture, and presentation of this meal without adding any stress.

Use room temperature chicken for even cooking. One of the easiest ways to get an even sear and perfectly cooked interior is to let your marinated chicken sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before cooking. Cold chicken straight from the fridge tends to cook unevenly and can result in dry or rubbery spots.

Dry the chicken before marinating. It might seem like a small thing, but taking a moment to pat the chicken dry with paper towels before adding the marinade allows the spices and oil to stick better. This also helps the chicken sear properly and develop a golden, flavorful crust on the griddle.

Use freshly grated Parmesan. Pre-grated cheese often contains anti-caking agents that prevent it from melting smoothly. For the richest, creamiest sauce, take the extra step to grate fresh Parmesan from a wedge. It melts better and adds a more pronounced nutty flavor.

Double the sauce if you’re a fan of bold flavor. This recipe includes a generous amount of garlic butter sauce, but if you love dipping or want extra for pasta or vegetables on the side, make a double batch. Just be sure to keep half reserved for drizzling at the end and never reuse sauce that’s touched raw chicken.

Control the heat on the griddle. The Blackstone is a powerful tool, and heat distribution can vary across the surface. If you notice your chicken is cooking too quickly or burning, move it to a slightly cooler zone on the griddle. Managing zones helps you maintain control and prevents overcooking.

Add a squeeze of lemon at the end. While not in the original recipe, a little fresh lemon juice can brighten the dish beautifully. Just a quick squeeze over the finished chicken adds contrast to the richness of the butter and cheese and gives the dish a fresh, clean finish.

Rest your chicken, always. As tempting as it is to cut into the chicken right away, let it rest for at least five minutes after cooking. This locks in moisture and ensures that each bite is juicy and flavorful.

Preheat your griddle properly. Allow your Blackstone to heat up for a solid 10 minutes before adding the chicken. This ensures even cooking and that satisfying sizzle when the meat hits the surface.

Use a silicone basting brush. When it’s time to baste with the garlic Parmesan sauce, a silicone brush gives you the most control and coverage. It’s also easier to clean and won’t absorb the butter the way a traditional brush might.

Add parsley right before serving. Fresh herbs lose their color and flavor when cooked too long. Sprinkling parsley at the end keeps it vibrant and aromatic, making your finished dish look and taste extra fresh.

These simple techniques may seem small, but together they create a big impact. Use these pro tips as your secret weapons in the kitchen, and you’ll be turning out perfectly grilled, flavor-packed garlic Parmesan chicken every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Even with a detailed recipe, it’s totally normal to have questions—especially when cooking on a griddle or trying something new. Here are the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about this garlic Parmesan grilled chicken.

Can I use chicken breasts instead of tenderloins?
Absolutely. Chicken breasts work great—just slice them into evenly sized strips to ensure even cooking. You can also pound them slightly for more uniform thickness, which helps them cook faster and stay juicy.

Can I use boneless chicken thighs?
Yes, and they’re delicious. Thighs are naturally juicier and more flavorful due to a slightly higher fat content. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time as they may take a bit longer than tenderloins.

Is it okay to make the sauce ahead of time?
Definitely. You can make the garlic Parmesan sauce a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat it gently over low heat before using. You may need to stir it well as the butter and cheese can separate slightly when cooled.

What if I don’t have a Blackstone griddle?
No worries—you can make this on any flat griddle, stovetop grill pan, or even a cast iron skillet. The cooking method stays the same; just be sure to preheat your pan well and don’t overcrowd it.

Can I bake this chicken instead of grilling it?
Yes, but you won’t get the same char and sear that the griddle provides. To bake, place marinated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook at 400°F for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway. Baste with sauce during the last few minutes.

Is the dish spicy?
It has a mild kick, thanks to the hot sauce and red pepper flakes, but it’s not overwhelmingly spicy. If you’re sensitive to heat, reduce or omit the pepper flakes and use a milder hot sauce.

Can I make this dish dairy-free?
You can make a version without the Parmesan and substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative. The garlic and spice blend still offer a lot of flavor, though the sauce will be slightly less rich.

What should I do if my sauce separates?
If your garlic butter sauce separates, don’t panic. Just whisk it vigorously or reheat it slowly while stirring constantly. Adding a small splash of warm water or lemon juice can help re-emulsify the ingredients.

Can I freeze the cooked chicken with the sauce on it?
Yes, but for the best texture, it’s better to freeze the chicken and sauce separately. This way, you can reheat the chicken without overcooking the sauce, which can sometimes break during reheating.

How do I know the chicken is fully cooked?
The safest and easiest method is to use a digital meat thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of the chicken—once it reads 165°F, you’re good to go.

With these FAQs in your back pocket, you’ll feel even more confident cooking this dish. Don’t be afraid to experiment, adjust, or make it your own. Great recipes are meant to be lived in and loved.
