Pasilla Chile Chicken Breasts

In our opinion the most flavorful and versatile hunk of chicken is the boneless, skinless chicken breast (with the possible exception of the chicken tenderloin). The fat content in chicken breasts does not allow for effective release when turning, so use a good extra virgin olive oil as a release agent. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are a tasty and economical entree for your family.

Three versions of Grilled Chicken breasts will be prepared tonight and will feature one of the following treatments:

The Dana Point Trinity©
*Two Guys Grilling© Mediterranean Sea Salt (lightly)
*Two Guys Grilling© Fine Ground White Pepper (light dusting)
*Two Guys Grilling© Granulated Onion (generously)
Two Guys Grilling© Chile Pasilla (liberally)

Preheat Grill to Medium Hot
Season Chicken Breasts with the above listed Seasoning Blends
Allow to Chicken to Set for at least twenty minutes, one hour is better
(Refrigerate just to be on the safe side)

Coat lightly with Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Place Seasoned Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts on Preheated Grill
Turn after four minutes each time (12 to 16 minutes total) until done-according to the “Thumb Test”
Remove from Grill
Allow to Rest for five minutes before serving/slicing

Grilled Chicken Breasts are superb as an entree, sliced on the dual bias (Carving Lesson) in a salad, or as a leftover snack (you wish it would last that long).

Always observe rules for safe and sanitary handling of poultry. Thoroughly clean cutting boards, cutlery, and other tools that might come in contact with raw poultry after each use.
