Notes
- Every brand and model of grills may cook at varying speeds. Be sure to monitor your food closely to ensure appropriate cook time.
- The best way to get juicy chicken breasts is to marinate the chicken in liquid for at least 2 hours to overnight. My favorite way to marinate is with 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (or liquid aminos) and a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Marinating the chicken will break down the proteins, tenderize it, and keep the meat from drying out.
- The width of your chicken breasts will definitely impact the cooking time. Thick chicken breasts will take longer to cook.
- For properly cooked chicken, if you cut into it and the juices run clear, then the chicken is fully cooked. If the juices are red or have a pinkish color, your chicken may need to be cooked a bit longer. For safety you should ensure it has reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.
