  • Total Time: 29
  • Yield: 4 chicken breasts

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup halal-approved BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap.
  3. Pound chicken breasts gently to an even 1-inch thickness.
  4. Apply olive oil evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
  5. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder generously over the chicken.
  6. Rub spices into the chicken breasts until evenly coated.
  7. Allow chicken to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
  9. Clean grill grates thoroughly with a wire brush.
  10. Lightly oil the clean grill grates to prevent sticking.
  11. Place seasoned chicken breasts directly on the hot grill.
  12. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side without moving until juices run clear

Notes

  • Use a halal/compliant BBQ sauce and ensure it contains no alcohol. For extra moisture, baste
  • chicken with additional sauce during the last 2-3 minutes of grilling.
  • Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking to retain juices.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
