Ingredients

Scale

1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons of chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 green onions, chopped
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Grill

Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and achieves a nice char.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Take the chicken breasts and flatten them slightly for uniform cooking. You can do this using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.

Step 3: Season the Chicken

Brush the chicken with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 4: Grill the Chicken

Place the seasoned chicken on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Step 5: Add Toppings

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and top it with shredded cheese and bacon. Cover the grill for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt.

Step 6: Serve

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Note 1: Marinating the Chicken

For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chicken in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

Note 2: Cheese Variations

Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a bit of kick.

Note 3: Leftover Storage

Store any leftover grilled chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
