How To Grill Chicken Breast
If using a charcoal grill, you can gauge the temperature by holding your hand five inches above the cooking grate. If you can keep it there comfortably for 4-6 seconds, it’s at medium heat.
Cover the grill and let the chicken cook for 5-7 minutes, then use tongs to flip the breasts over. Grill for 5-7 minutes longer, or until a thermometer reads 165°.
Test Kitchen tip: If you plan to brush on a sweet glaze such as barbecue sauce, wait until the last few minutes of cooking. This will keep the outside of the chicken from getting too dark from the sugars in the sauce.
Remove the chicken from the grill, cover with foil and let the chicken rest. This is key to keeping the chicken tender. Letting the meat rest for five minutes or so gives the juices inside time to redistribute (instead of running out on your plate). By the time the table’s set, your grilled chicken will be ready.
Grilled chicken is a healthy, delicious main course to serve by itself-but you can also do many other things with it. You can put grilled chicken in just about anything: sliced on top of salads, stuffed into sandwiches, shredded for chicken soups or skewered on a kabob.
