Tasty Grilled Chicken Breasts!
Here is a great healthy grilled chicken breast recipe you can use over and over again for lunch or dinner. This goes well with a variety of chicken dishes. You can make an excellent boneless skinless chicken breast right on your Foreman Grill.
As with all chicken breast recipes on a George Foreman Grill, you’ll get best results using a cut of meat that isn’t too thick. Use a meat mallet and pound larger chicken breasts thin – to approximately 1/2″ thick.
The results will be a tender chicken breast.
Shopping for Chicken
When you go into your local market or grocery store, in the meat section look for boneless skinless chicken breast. Try to find cuts of chicken that are ½” size of thickness. If that is not available, you will have to pound the chicken to the ½” size thickness later.
You can use any variety of chicken which will grill well on your George Foreman Grill. Generally the package will vary in weight. Look for ½ lb. package as the recipe calls for 2 4oz. chicken breasts. You may have to cut them down into the proper size later.
