Ingredients for Blackstone Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Here’s what you’ll need for Blackstone Garlic Parmesan Chicken (serves 4):

For the Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs / 900g), pounded to even thickness
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika

For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup (50g) grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for heat

Equipment

Blackstone griddle (or flat-top grill)
Spatula or tongs
Small saucepan
Meat thermometer
Mixing bowl
Cutting board and knife

Ingredient Tips

Chicken: Pounding ensures even cooking; thighs can substitute for juicier Grilled Chicken Delight.
Parmesan: Freshly grated melts smoothly; pre-shredded works but may be grainy.
Garlic: Fresh cloves deliver bold flavor; avoid jarred for best results.
Butter: Unsalted butter keeps the sauce balanced; margarine alters taste.
Parsley: Fresh parsley adds brightness; dried parsley works in a pinch (use 1 tbsp).

Directions

Let’s cook this Blackstone Garlic Parmesan Chicken—a perfect Grilled Chicken Delight!

Preheat the Griddle

I preheat my Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat for 10 minutes, ensuring a hot surface for a golden sear on this Grilled Chicken Delight.

Season the Chicken

I pat 4 chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then rub with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp paprika on both sides for even flavor.

Grill the Chicken

I place the chicken on the hot griddle, cooking for 5–6 minutes per side, flipping once, until the internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C). I remove and let rest for 5 minutes.

Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce

In a small saucepan over medium heat, I melt 4 tbsp butter, add 4 minced garlic cloves, and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. I remove from heat, stirring in ½ cup parmesan and 2 tbsp parsley.

Coat and Serve

I slice the chicken, drizzle generously with the garlic parmesan sauce, and garnish with extra parsley or a pinch of red pepper flakes for Blackstone Garlic Parmesan Chicken.
