Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe
I was alone at home today, I hate when this happens. I mean, yes I like to have some me time, but only when I plan for it! Anyways, I am hungry too and not in the mood to cook so I made something simple, Grilled Chicken Breast.
I had this recipe of grilled chicken breast, which I use often but never shared before.
Cooking the chicken will take 4 minutes, but you have to wait for 20 minutes, which is the time for marinating the chicken.
I have used chicken breast, but you can use chicken thighs too. I have mentioned below the recipe the total amount of calories in case you decided to use chicken thighs.
If you follow the steps in the method, then your chicken breast will come out tender and juicy.

- When done cover the chicken immediately, and let it rest for two minutes, this will keep the chicken breast tender and juicy.
