Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Preheat a Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat and lightly coat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to form a paste.
4. Place the chicken on the hot griddle and cook for 5–7 minutes without moving to develop a sear.
5. Flip the chicken and spread the garlic Parmesan mixture evenly over each piece.
6. Continue cooking for another 5–7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the topping is melted and lightly browned.
7. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the chicken if desired.
8. Remove from the griddle and let rest for a few minutes.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
Use evenly sized chicken breasts or pound them to even thickness for consistent cooking.
Avoid moving the chicken too early to achieve a good sear.
Add extra Parmesan during the last minute of cooking for a crispier cheesy crust.
Pairs well with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
