The Perfect Chicken Breast

Difficulty: 1/5
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12 - 16 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

Chicken Breast x 4

Grainy Dijon Mustard - 3 teaspoons

Fresh Parsley - 1/4 bunch minced

High smoke point oil - 125 mL

Broil King Perfect BBQ spice - 2 teaspoons

Lemon Zest - of 1 lemon, minced

Lemon Juice - for after chicken is cooked (25 mL) or 1 Lemon's worth.

Kosher salt - 2 tsp

Fresh cracked Black Pepper - 1 tsp

Directions

Mix all marinade ingredients together in a bowl using a whisk or shake all ingredients together in an air-tight jar.

Place chicken into a resealable bag and add the marinade.
Allow chicken to marinate for 1 hour minimum.

Place a drip pan below the grates over the flavour waves and fill it 1/2 full of warm water.

Turn on the Pellet module, and set the temperature to 250 F.

Place your marinated chicken directly on the grates once the grill has pre-heated with pellets.

Insert a probe into the thickest and thinnest chicken breast to get your range of doneness.

Smoke to 130 F and then remove to a resting pan, turn off the pellet hopper and then turn your gas grill on to medium: 450-500 F.

Spray your chicken breast with a high smoke point oil, and either spray the grates or use a basting brush to apply high smoke point oil to the cooking grids.

Place your chicken breast on the preheated grill at the 10 o'clock position. Turning after 2 minutes to 2 o'clock, and repeating this step until your chicken reaches 165 F internal temperature.

Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes, use the juice of one lemon to coat the cooked chicken breast.

Enjoy!
