Grilled Chicken Breast (Tailgating)

Nov 18th, 2008 Posted in Poultry | Comments Off

Ingredients

  • 1 chicken breast per person, skinless and boneless
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil per chicken breast
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder per chicken breast
  • Season salt and pepper to taste



Directions

Rub chicken breast with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder, season salt and pepper.

Grill on portable grill at the ball game or grill ahead of time and keep in an ice chest where you are storing warm foods. Cook the chicken breast until juices run clear. Try not to overcook the chicken. It usually takes about seven minutes on each side unless you are using a portable infrared grill. If you are using an infrared grill, your cooking time will be cut in half.

I often use an ice chest as a mini warming oven. Be sure to have an ice chest for warm foods and one with ice in it for cold foods. Warm chicken breast will keep in the ice chest, wrapped in foil for up to 3 hours.

(To use with Easy Onion Buns)
