Quick Garlic Grilled Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts With Some Bite

Sometime you don't want to brine or fuss. You just want to cook. I don't seem to have any time anymore. So it is quick weeknight type recipes for me for a while.

A less than 30 minute chicken breast that was moist without brining. I call it garlic with bite. Great in a chicken sandwich with mayo. Rating

Notes: I used huge Sam's Club chicken breast (about a pound each) and still they cooked well without burning and able to get to a good temperature without a lot of work.

Preheat grill on high. Clean and oil grates. Trim breasts well. Mix all other ingredients in the oil and then brush on both sides of breasts.

2) Place over high heat with smooth side down. Initially about 8-10 minutes then flip about every 5-6 minutes until internal temp of 165 minimum.
