Description
A delicious grilled chicken recipe topped with a flavorful pepperoncini garlic butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
- 1 tablespoon pepperoncini juice
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the chicken. Rub the seasonings evenly onto both sides.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to help prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for about 5–7 minutes per side depending on thickness until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Make the Pepperoncini Garlic Butter: While the chicken grills, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the sliced pepperoncini peppers, pepperoncini juice, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter. Spoon the warm Pepperoncini Garlic Butter generously over the top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the spiciness by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
- This dish pairs well with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
