Method

Prepare the Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
