Ingredients

  • 4 tsp. olive oil
  • 4 tsp. southwest seasoning
  • 1 - 1 1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

  • In a plastic zipper bag, mix together the olive oil and southwest seasoning. Add chicken, seal bag, and knead all ingredients together till southwest seasoning mixture is evenly distributed around the chicken breasts. Let sit in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat and prepare grill. Place marinated chicken breasts on grill and cook at medium heat, turning and flipping chicken every 1 to 2 minutes until chicken is done and reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Remove from grill and cover with a tent of aluminum foil for 5 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.

Cooked chicken may be sliced, diced, or shredded, and then frozen in air-tight freezer bags for future use.
