- 4 skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp sugar 2 tbsp chopped Italian parsley
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, and dried oregano.
- 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and rub the seasoning blend evenly on both sides. Let it sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the basting sauce.
- 3
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- 4
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 5
Sprinkle the flour into the mixture, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to cook the raw taste out of the flour.
- 6
Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- 7
Let the sauce cook for about 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Stir in the chopped parsley and set aside.
- 8
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
- 9
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- 10
In the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, generously brush the basting sauce over the chicken to lock in moisture and flavor.
- 11
Once grilled to perfection, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- 12
Serve the chicken with an extra drizzle of the basting sauce for that irresistible flavor boost!
