The inherent flavor of chicken breast is mild, making it an excellent canvas for various seasonings.

Marinating is Key
Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or preferably several hours, infuses flavor and helps keep it moist during grilling. Use a combination of oil, acid (like vinegar or citrus juice), herbs, and spices.
Pounding for Even Cooking
Pounding the chicken breast to an even thickness ensures that it cooks uniformly, preventing some parts from drying out before others are cooked through.
Don't Overcook
Chicken breast dries out easily. Use a meat thermometer and cook to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
Grill Temperature
Grill over medium heat (around 350-450°F or 175-230°C). Avoid high heat which can burn the outside before the inside is cooked.
