How to cook juicy grilled chicken breast?

The secret ingredient is baking soda to make this oven-grilled chicken breast incredibly juicy by retaining the chicken breast's natural juice.

I used skinless but bone-in chicken breast. Bone adds more flavor to the dish and helps to keep the chicken breast extra moist.

Lastly, make sure your oven or grill is preheated and scorching hot.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast. I used bone-in skinless chicken breast cut into chunks.
• Onion and garlic powder. Adds lots of flavors.
• Lemon juice. Add a tangy taste.
• Yogurt. Adds flavor
• Baking soda. The secret for the juiciest grilled/ broiled chicken breast.
• Turmeric. It adds lovely color and health benefits.
• Oil. To help with broiling. I used avocado oil which has a high smoke point.
• Seasonings. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions to make the juiciest oven-grilled chicken breast (step by step)

1. Cut chicken breast into small chunky pieces.

2. Place them into a bowl and add onion powder, garlic powder, lemon juice, yogurt, turmeric, salt, and pepper.

3. Incorporate and mix them well with chicken breasts.

4. Optional. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for a few hours to build flavor.

5. When ready to broil them, add baking soda and oil to the chicken breasts and mix. Let them sit in the bowl for 5 minutes, then broil them in the oven.

6. Relocate the oven rack to the second indent close to the open fire and oven broil.

7. Turn on the oven broil to high and let the oven and sheet pan warm up. I used a cast iron sheet pan as it sears the chicken breasts fast and keeps it very juicy.

8. Place the marinated chicken breasts pieces on the preheated greased sheet pan and place them in the oven.

9. Close the oven door and let the chicken breasts broil for about 8 minutes or until golden and browned on top and bottom. Make sure not to overcook them.

10. Let them rest for a few minutes.

11. Sprinkle some salt, drizzle some oil, and serve it hot with fresh lemon juice and ENJOY!

I served it with fresh salad.

Tips and tricks

• Make sure you broil on high oven heat, as it will result in the best oven-grilled chicken breast with a crispy edge and super juicy and tender inside.
• Use your favorite spices and herbs.
• Let the chicken breast sit in baking soda and oil for 5 minutes.
• I used a well-preheated, greased cast iron sheet pan which helped both sides of the chicken breast pieces to get grilled without a need to turn them around. If you are not using cast iron cookware, you may need to turn them around halfway for both sides to get a grill mark.
• Bone in chicken breast adds lots of flavors to the dish.

Substitutions and variations to this recipe

• You may substitute chicken breast with other parts of chicken or chunks of bone-in beef or lamb meat.
• Add oven-grilled chicken breast to a pasta dish, salad, or sandwich.

• Grill them outside instead.

• If you prefer to cook the chicken breasts as a whole, gently pound them down to make them tender.

I used this 15.5 x 10.5 Inch cast-iron sheet pan (Affiliate link). Everything tastes extra delicious when cooked in cast iron cookware.

Storage and reheat

Store oven-grilled chicken breast in an airtight container in a fridge for up to 3 days. Heat them in an oven or stovetop or microwave them. Freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for 3 months and defrost them a night before in the fridge.
