Easy stovetop grilled chicken PLUS seasoning blend recipe

Easy stovetop grilled chicken recipe - Michelle Rogers Healthy Living

Chicken can be tricky to cook on an outdoor grill. The good news is, you don’t have to. You can get the same delicious grilled taste using a grill pan on your stove!

This tender and delicious chicken recipe is one of my standards. As part of my weekly meal prep, often I’ll make several pieces so I can have with salad all week long. It’s a restaurant-quality meal in minutes!

For this recipe you’ll need a cast iron grill pan with ribbed bottom. We’ll grill the chicken, then finish it off in the oven. Here are the steps, with photos and details following.

Click on photo to see it on Amazon.
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Cut large boneless breasts in half, if needed. Place two at a time in large ziploc bag, and pound with mallet to even out.
  3. Heat a cast iron grill pan on stove on high until it is very hot (smoking). Make sure to use the exhaust fan while you’re cooking — you’ll need it. DO NOT add any oil or spray the pan.
  4. Lightly sprinkle chicken on both sides with seasoning blend (see recipe below).
  5. Grill 2 pieces at a time. Grill for 30 seconds; then turn 1/4 turn to create a cross-hatch; grill 30 seconds longer. Repeat on the other side.
  6. Transfer chicken to a sheet pan lined with foil, and finish cooking in preheated oven just until done (165 degrees internal temperature). Bake in a 400 degree oven approx. 7-8 minutes; it may take longer if chicken is thicker.

Enjoy!

Safety note: Keep a potholder handy for grabbing the handle of your cast iron pan.

Seasoning Blend recipe

This makes enough to store and use for other dishes – vegetables, meats, etc.

In a small bowl, stir together:

  • 1/3 cup kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon tumeric

Test for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer in the side of the chicken piece in the thickest part.

Pairs well with my Thousand Island Dressing recipe as a dipping sauce for the chicken, and as a dressing for the salad.
