Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and brush each piece with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, combine the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl.
Once the chicken is almost done, sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over each piece, cover the grill, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes on a serving platter.
Garnish the grilled chicken with chopped parsley before serving.
