Instructions

How to Make Grilled Salsa Verde Chicken

  • In a bowl, combine the salsa verde, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended, creating a zesty marinade for the chicken.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they're fully coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those delicious flavors.
  • While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Aim for about 375°F.
  • Once the grill is hot, carefully place the marinated chicken on it. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve it with extra salsa verde drizzled on top for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least one hour. Brush the grill with oil to avoid sticking, and always check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it's safe to eat.
