Garlic Herbed Chicken

Garlic Herbed Chicken features tender, foil-steamed breasts finished over hot grill grates for a flavorful char. A fragrant blend of crushed garlic, tarragon, black pepper, and olive oil infuses each bite with savory herb notes and a hint of smoke. Ideal for a summer cookout or weeknight dinner, it pairs well with grilled vegetables or a crisp salad.

Garlic Herbed Chicken
  1. 1

    Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, dried tarragon, salt, ground black pepper, and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Place each chicken breast half on a piece of foil large enough to wrap the chicken, then brush the chicken with the garlic mixture.

  4. 4

    Seal the chicken tightly in the foil and cook on the prepared grill for approximately 40 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the grill, discard the foil and juices, and place the unwrapped chicken back on the grill; brushing frequently with the remaining garlic mixture and turning often, continue cooking 5 to 10 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
