Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, mesquite seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
