Helpful Tips For Cooking
- Use a glass or plastic container to avoid any reaction with acidic ingredients.
- Pat the chicken dry before cooking to get a nice sear and avoid steaming.
Step 1
Start by gently pounding the chicken breasts until they're about half an inch thick. In a bowl, mix together the safflower oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Pour this marinade into a zip-top bag, add the chicken, and make sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag, squeeze out any extra air, and pop it in the fridge for anywhere from 6 to 24 hours to soak up all those flavors.
Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick brush with oil to prevent sticking. Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and toss the leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side, or until it’s no longer pink in the middle. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving—this helps keep it juicy and tender.
