Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness if necessary and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Lightly oil the hot surface of the griddle.
Place the chicken on the griddle in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken and top liberally with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Once the cheese has melted and formed a golden crust, remove the chicken from the griddle.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is sliced uniformly to guarantee even cooking across the large surface area. Do not move the chicken too early to allow the Maillard reaction to create that perfect golden crust. Leftovers can be sliced and added to salads or grain bowls throughout the week.
