Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast and coat it well with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken breast on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Add Green Chile

    During the last couple of minutes of grilling, add the green chile on top of the chicken to warm it up.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair it with your choice of two sides: rice, pinto beans, or papitas, or substitute a salad.
