Recipe Ingredients
This simple yet delicious blackstone chicken breast recipe requires just a handful of ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen:
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Avocado oil
- Garlic powder
- Salt

- Optional: Teriyaki sauce
- Optional: Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Ingredient Notes
- Chicken breasts: For even cooking, either purchase thin-sliced breasts or butterfly regular chicken breasts yourself. This ensures they cook through without burning the outside.
- Avocado oil: This oil has a high smoke point, making it perfect for the high heat of the Blackstone griddle. Vegetable oil or grapeseed oil make good substitutes.
- Teriyaki sauce: Store-bought works perfectly fine, but homemade gives you control over sweetness and sodium levels if you’re watching your intake.

Pro Tips
The secret to perfect blackstone chicken breast is maintaining the right temperature and preventing sticking. Always preheat your griddle thoroughly before adding the chicken. A properly heated surface creates an immediate sear that helps prevent sticking and locks in moisture. Don’t flip the chicken too early – when it’s ready to flip, it will release easily from the cooking surface.
Storage and Reheating
- Refrigerate cooked chicken in an airtight container for up to 4 days
- Freeze in freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 3 months for best quality
- Reheat on the Blackstone at low heat with a splash of water and cover, or microwave at 50% power with a damp paper towel over the chicken to retain moisture
Additions & Substitutions
Additions:
- Add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or cajun spice blend for extra flavor
- Brush with BBQ sauce instead of teriyaki for a classic American flavor profile
- Top with a slice of cheese during the last minute of cooking for a delicious melt
Substitutions:
- Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for even juicier results
- Substitute coconut aminos for teriyaki sauce for a lower-sodium, soy-free option
- Replace avocado oil with olive oil if cooking at slightly lower temperatures
