How long do you grill chicken breasts for?

Grill chicken breasts on medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip half way through cooking them on the grill. Depending on the size of a larger chicken breast it can take 10 - 12 minutes.

How do you grill chicken breasts without drying them out?

Make a marinade or brine to soak the chicken in prior to cooking it on the grill on high heat. This will ensure a juicy flavorful chicken. Add some acid to it like a fresh citrus fruit such as lemon.

Do you grill chicken covered or uncovered?

This is a personal preference. Foil will help the chicken keep all its flavor and juices packed inside for the best grilled chicken ever.

Instructions

Combine broth, wine, oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, and rosemary, in a large zip-close plastic bag. Add chicken, squeeze out air, and seal bag. If you don’t have any bags just leave it sit in a large enough bowl and cover it with Saran Wrap. Turn to coat and refrigerate at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
Spray large ridged grill pan with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Place chicken in pan and grill, turning once, until cooked through. For each side grill 5 to 7 minutes.
For an outdoor grill, start up your grill. I have an ignition dial and I have to push the start up button for that to get my grill to start. Then I set all my burners to medium-high heat and cook 5 to 7 minutes per side.
