How to make the best Blackstone Chicken Breasts
- First, butterfly each of the whole chicken breast and set aside.
- In the large baggie add the avocado oil and all of the spices. Mix well.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bag and then massage to coat evenly.
- Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature
- Pre-heat Blackstone over medium high heat
- Cook the chicken breast for 5-6 minutes on each side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken. It should be a nice golden brown.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and eating.
Substitutions
If you don’t have boneless skinless chicken breasts available, you can also use chicken breast filets, chicken cutlets, chicken tenders, or boneless skinless chicken thighs.
If you use bone in chicken breasts or split chicken breasts, you won’t be able to butterfly them so they will take longer to cook.
Stovetop Directions
If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle or similar griddle, you can make this recipe on the stove. First get a large cast iron skillet or frying pan.
Heat the cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add avocado oil to the skillet once hot. Then add the chicken breasts.
Cook for 5-6 minutes each side.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken and remove.
What to serve with griddled chicken breast
These pair great with many different side dishes, but I loves serving it with Blackstone Green Beans! You can also serve it with these Blackstone Brussel sprouts with bacon or Blackstone Zucchini to make it a complete meal.
You can also serve it with this Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice recipe or Instant Pot Basmati Rice.
Fancy a dipping sauce? Serve it with this Keto BBQ Sauce, ranch or honey mustard. Any are a great option!
If you have leftover rice, you can add some honey paleo teriyaki sauce and frozen vegetables to the grill like I did in this Blackstone Chicken Tender Recipe.
How to store
Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 5 days. I typically use glass containers to store food in or meal prep, but they were all in use.
How to reheat
If you’re using a glass meal prep container, remove the lid and microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes or until chicken is warm. You may also transfer the chicken to a microwave safe plate to warm up.

FAQs
Cook your chicken for 5-6 minutes per side.
Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breast. Once it reaches 165F remove from the griddle. Make sure to not over cook the chicken, this ensure it is moist and juicy!
Yes, of course! You can either “pan fry” these chicken breasts by adding a bunch of oil to The Blackstone or some people like to use aluminum foil pans and place oil in those and deep fry chicken on the griddle.
Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat.
