1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Grilled chicken breasts

Cooking chicken breasts on a grill. Grilling chicken breasts is great. It’s even greater if you marinade your meat beforehand so that it’s not too dry.
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Grill the chicken breast for 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
My personal favorite is teriyaki with honey, sesame oil, mirin and soy sauce.
You can also prepare a mixture with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and dried red chili, or prepare a barbecue marinade with garlic, brown sugar, vegetable oil, wine vinegar and paprika. Try marinating chicken breasts (diced) with honey, mustard and Worcestershire sauce (I love this combo!)
