Mouthwatering Grilled Chicken Breast with Kalmes Seasoning Recipe

November 11, 2025

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kalmes 2-in-1 Seasoning & Tenderizer
2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional: fresh lemon juice or herbs

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Chicken

If chicken breasts are uneven thickness, pound them to an even ½-¾ inch thickness using a meat mallet. This ensures even cooking and prevents dry, overcooked edges.

Step 2: Season Generously

Brush chicken breasts lightly with olive oil on both sides. Apply Kalmes 2-in-1 Seasoning & Tenderizer liberally to both sides. Let rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before grilling—this allows the tenderizer to work its magic.

Pro tip: For maximum tenderness and flavor, season chicken up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before grilling.

Step 3: Preheat Your Grill

Heat your grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Grill to Perfection

Place chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, flipping only once, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. The natural tenderizers in Kalmes seasoning help keep chicken juicy even at proper doneness.

165°F = perfectly cooked, juicy chicken
Don't go over 170°F or chicken will dry out

Step 5: Rest and Serve

Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Slice and serve immediately!
