• Bring chicken to room temperature before grilling. This will help it cook more evenly.
• Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature–remove it from the grill at 160°F (it should reach 165°F while resting).
• Cook the chicken on a medium-high heat. If the grill is too hot, the outside of the chicken will burn and the middle won’t be cooked through.
• Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving or slicing. This lets the juices redistribute and is key to a juicy chicken breast.

Storage:Store grilled chicken breasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
