Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a baking dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while the grill heats up.
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
After the chicken is cooked, distribute the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each breast.
Close the grill lid and let the cheese melt, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Once the cheese has melted, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of low-carb sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
