Description

This will be the BEST grilled chicken you will have - the toum marinade creates a perfectly grilled chicken. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced or pounded thin
  • 4-5 Tablespoons of prepared toum
  • 3 teaspoons DIAMOND kosher salt, cut in half for table salt

Instructions

  1. You want to ensure your chicken breasts or thighs are thin, thicker chicken will not cook evenly and will begin to dry out as you cook. Cut larger breasts in half or pound out to thin.
  2. Add your thin chicken breasts or thighs to a large bowl, add your prepared toum and salt. Mix to coat completely and allow to rest as you heat your grill.
  3. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once heated, place your chicken and allow to cook for 5-6 minutes until they begin to slightly char. Flip and allow to cook on the 2nd side for another 4-6 minutes until charred and internal temperature is 165 degrees fahrenheit or when cut or pierced, liquid is clear.
  4. Remove from grill and allow to rest, tent loosely with foil
  5. Enjoy as is or on top of salads!

Notes

  • If you don't have access to an outdoor grill, you can use an indoor grill pan and heat on your stovetop. Follow the same instructions and ensure internal temperature is at 165 degrees fahrenheit.
