JUICY BROILED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 4 inched below the heating element and preheat your broiler on high (500°F). Line a large broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil.
• Dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
• Slice each of them horizontally into two even pieces.*
• Place the chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with oil, season with half the seasonings, then spray with more oil.**
• Broil them for 3 minutes on the first side. Flip them, season the second side with the remaining seasonings, and spray it with more oil.
• Broil the second side for 3-5 more minutes, depending on how thick the chicken pieces are and on how hot your broiler is. Their internal temperature should reach 165°F.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED LEMON CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Poke surface of chicken all over with a knife or fork. Rub chicken pieces on all sides with cut surfaces of lemons, squeezing to release some of the juice; reserve remaining juice for grilling

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill for 7 to 10 minutes. Flip, squeeze remaining lemon juice over chicken, brush with remaining butter, and sprinkle with the rest of the seasonings. Continue to grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Sprinkle chicken with sugar just before serving. Grill cooked chicken for 2 minutes more. Serve.
