The Secret to Juicy Grilled Chicken

Dry, rubbery chicken breast is a thing of the past. Three simple techniques transform this lean protein into something amazing: brining, pounding to even thickness, and not overcooking. Combined with a flavorful herb marinade, you'll get the juiciest grilled chicken breast of your life.

Ingredients

• Salt and pepper
• Fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

Step 1:

Pound chicken breasts to even 3/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.

Step 2:

Mix marinade ingredients. Marinate chicken for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
