Blackstone Grilled Chicken with Lemon Herb Butter

Blackstone Grilled Chicken with Lemon Herb Butter

Dappled sunlight filters through the kitchen window as I ponder the simplicity and elegance of a dish that brings together the smoky char of grilled chicken with the bright, herbaceous notes of lemon butter. It’s a recipe that speaks to the heart of summer, inviting a moment of pause to savor the flavors that dance across the palate.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 6 oz each
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F, ensuring it’s evenly heated for consistent cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper, mixing until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  3. Lightly brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  4. Place the chicken breasts on the griddle, cooking for 6-7 minutes on the first side without moving to achieve a golden-brown sear.
  5. Flip the chicken breasts and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
  6. Remove the chicken from the griddle and immediately top each breast with a generous dollop of the lemon herb butter, allowing it to melt and coat the chicken.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before serving to ensure the juices redistribute, keeping the meat moist and tender.

Off the griddle, the chicken boasts a succulent interior with a perfectly charred exterior, the lemon herb butter adding a velvety richness that complements the smoky undertones. Serve alongside a crisp, green salad or over a bed of creamy polenta for a meal that celebrates the season’s bounty.

Blackstone Chicken Fajitas with Bell Peppers and Onions

Dappled sunlight filters through the kitchen window as I ponder the simple joy of preparing a meal that sings with color and flavor, a dish that brings the vibrant essence of outdoor grilling into the heart of the home.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 8 small flour tortillas, warmed

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Preheat a Blackstone griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F. A drop of water should sizzle upon contact.

  4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate and tent with foil to rest. This step ensures the juices redistribute, keeping the meat succulent.

  6. Return the chicken to the griddle, mixing it with the peppers and onions. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro, tossing gently to combine.
  7. Serve the fajita mixture on warmed flour tortillas. For an extra touch, garnish with additional cilantro and a wedge of lime on the side.

Juxtaposing the smoky depth of the chicken with the bright acidity of lime and the freshness of cilantro, these fajitas offer a symphony of flavors. The tender-crisp vegetables add a satisfying crunch, making each bite a delightful contrast. Consider serving alongside a cooling avocado crema to round out the dish.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine chicken thighs with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper, massaging the spices into the meat until evenly coated.
  3. Place the chicken on the griddle, cooking for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is crisply charred.
  4. While the chicken cooks, prepare the mango salsa by gently folding together diced mangoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice in a separate bowl.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board, allowing it to rest for 3 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas on the griddle for 30 seconds per side, just until pliable and slightly toasted.
  7. Assemble the tacos by layering sliced chicken onto each tortilla, topping with a generous spoonful of mango salsa and a sprinkle of queso fresco.

Perfectly balanced, the tacos offer a symphony of textures—from the juicy tenderness of the chicken to the crisp freshness of the salsa. Serve them alongside a chilled glass of hibiscus tea for a meal that sings of summer’s bounty.
