Ingredients
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the Blackstone:
Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high and lightly oil the surface.Season the Chicken:
Pat the chicken dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.Cook the Chicken:
Place chicken on the hot griddle and cook for 4–6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).Add Garlic Butter:
Lower heat slightly. Add butter and garlic directly to the griddle near the chicken. Once melted and fragrant, toss the chicken in the garlic butter.Finish with Parmesan:
Sprinkle Parmesan over the chicken and let it melt. Flip once to coat both sides evenly.Serve:
Remove from heat, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
Use fresh Parmesan: It melts better and creates a richer flavor than pre-shredded cheese.
Don’t rush the sear: Let the chicken cook undisturbed for the first few minutes to get that golden crust.
Add garlic last: Garlic burns fast, so always add it after the chicken is mostly cooked.
Rest before slicing: Let the chicken sit for 3–5 minutes to keep it juicy.
Make it spicy: Add crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne to the seasoning blend.
Great for meal prep: This chicken reheats beautifully and works in bowls, wraps, salads, and pasta.
