Chicken Breasts on Blackstone
If you slice the chicken breasts down the middle so that they are even in size, they will cook very fast.
You can also easily tell when the chicken breast are cook on one side. I just let them cook so many minutes per side. The chicken breast will start to turn its white color/tan color they normally do and then you flip them. So simple.
You can use the cooked chicken breasts in your meal prep throughout the week!
Add the cooked chicken to my Blackstone Fried Rice next or add some chicken to this Blackstone Tortellini.
Why You Will Love Blackstone Chicken Breasts

Ingredients Needed for Blackstone Chicken Breasts
- 1 lb of boneless skinless chicken breast – They’re lean and quick-cooking and always come out juicy and tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure that the chicken is not over cooked. When reading labels for chicken breasts try to find ones that say Organic or Free Range.
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil – Look for olive oils that are labeled as extra virgin, cold-pressed, and unfiltered for the highest quality.
- Seasoning of choice – I like Lawry’s, Mrs Dash, or Dano’s.
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to make Blackstone Chicken Breasts
Step 1: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F. This ensures that the cooking surface is hot enough to sear the chicken and lock in the juices.
Step 2: Before you place the chicken on the griddle, pat the breasts dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps in achieving a good sear. Lightly coat each chicken breast with olive oil to prevent sticking and to help the seasonings adhere. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and any other chosen spices.
Step 3: Once seasoned, place the chicken breasts on the preheated griddle. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the breasts. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F.
Step 4: Once the chicken breasts are fully cooked, remove them from the griddle and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy chicken.
