A quick and easy garlic Parmesan chicken recipe cooked on a Blackstone griddle, delivering juicy chicken breasts with a crispy, golden crust and perfect grill marks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup (75 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing the griddle
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (blend of dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry chicken breasts. Pound each breast to about 1/2 inch thickness for even cooking (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together olive oil, melted butter, and fresh lemon juice.
  4. Brush both sides of each chicken breast generously with the olive oil and butter mixture. Press each side into the garlic Parmesan mixture to coat completely, forming a crust (about 10 minutes for all pieces).
  5. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Lightly grease the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the coated chicken breasts on the hot griddle. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, flipping carefully with tongs to preserve the coating. Look for a crispy, golden brown crust and distinct griddle marks. Use a thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F. Total cook time is about 12 minutes.
  7. Remove chicken from the griddle and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

If the crust isn’t browning enough, increase heat slightly but watch carefully to avoid burning. Do not overcrowd the griddle; cook in batches for crispier results. Let chicken rest after cooking for juicy bites. For gluten-free crust, substitute almond flour for Parmesan. For dairy-free, replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast and butter with coconut oil. If no Blackstone griddle, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or grill pan.
