My Go-To Grilled Chicken Recipe – It’s So Easy!
There are many ways to cook chicken. And since chicken is the main meat we eat in our house (much to my husband’s chagrin, he’s a beef man) I’ve cooked it just about every way I can think of.
Pan Seared. Baked. Pouched. Grilled. Rotisserie. Raw.
Just kidding not raw… just wanted to make sure you were paying attention. 🙂
I have to say my top two favorite ways to cook chicken are on the grill and by pan searing. Those two methods tend to be the best at giving the chicken an awesome flavor on the outside, searing in all the goodness, and the keeping the center moist instead of dry!
What’s your favorite way to cook chicken?
The Secret to Ultra Flavorful Grilled Chicken? Homemade Spice Rub.
Seasoning any protein with just salt and pepper can be great if it’s done right, but sometimes I’m just looking for something a little more flavorful. Sure you could add BBQ Sauce and make it BBQ Chicken. But in todays recipe we are going straight up spice rub blend. YES!
You can purchase pre-made chicken seasoning packs, but this homemade chicken spice rub is so easy to make and packs so much flavor there is no reason not to give it a try. Here’s what you’ll need:
Chicken Seasoning Ingredients
- Smoked Paprika – adds a nice smokiness to the chicken
- Cumin – gives an aromatic nutty flavor
- Coriander – really compliments the other spices and enhances the taste of the chicken
- Garlic Powder – gives the spice rub a hint of garlic
- Sea Salt – you gotta add salt, it’s the primary seasoning in almost every dish
- Black Pepper – for the slight hint of pepper
If you want more chicken spice rubs, definitely go check out my post that includes 5 different spice rubs. These rubs can be used for chicken or vegetables! You’re welcome. There’s a basic spice rub, smoky chipotle spice rub, mediterranean spice rub, lemon pepper spice rub and my favorite a buffalo spice rub!
How to Grill Chicken Breast
- Bring chicken to room temperature: Make sure that your chicken has rested at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to take the chill off.
- Pound chicken: Next, to make sure your chicken cooks evenly, pound the chicken to an even thickness so that everything cooks the same.
- Heat grill: Preheat your grill to medium high heat, approximately 375-400°F.
- Make spice rub: In a small bowl mix the garlic powder, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, sea salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix until combined.
- Season chicken: Rub seasoning mixture over both sides of the chicken.
- Grill: Place chicken on grill and grill each side for 4-7 minutes depending on thickness or until no longer pink.
- Rest & Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes to let juices reallocate and slice to serve.

How Long to Grill Chicken Breast
In my opinion, the key to a perfectly grilled chicken recipe is not touching the chicken when it’s on the grill. Once your chicken hits the grill grates let the grill do all the work.
Set your timer for 4-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken and flip. If the chicken sticks to the grill it’s not done yet. Trust me, your protein will release when it’s finished.
Chicken is considered “done” when the internal temperature reaches 165° F. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. Do NOT cut into the chicken to see if it’s pink this will release all the juices and make your chicken dry. This seems like such a simple thing, but it’s the key to keeping grilled chicken moist.
The best part about todays recipe is it’s done in under 20 minutes, it’s gluten free, and paleo! (And if you want to add a few more in there it’s keto and low carb.. just saying.) Hand down the perfect meal for a weeknight – super light, full of flavor and healthy!
Can You Freeze Grilled Chicken?
Yes! First let your chicken come to room temperature.
Then freeze whole pieces of grilled chicken by wrapping each piece in plastic wrap and placing it in a ziploc bag. This helps prevents freezer burn and also ensures that your grilled chicken won’t stick together. It also makes it easier to only defrost the amount of grilled chicken you want to eat in the future.

Hello, made this multiple times and tastes great. Planning g on making today and will omit the cayenne, too spicy for my 4 yo. I was wondering if this could be baked in the oven and at which temp and how long?
Yes, definitely. It’d bake at 450Ā° for 15-18 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken breast.
Rating it 5 stars coz the recipe came out to be really amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent recipe! Thanks for sharing! Meant to make this for meal prep this week. Couldnāt keep the family out of it. Out of 6 chicken breast, only 2 made it to refrigerator. Everyone raved about how good the chicken was.

Awesome food. I love your recipe. It is so great and simple. I love to eat chicken. It reminds me of when I was a kid. I eat this dish a lot until I’m full. Now, I still love to eat it.

This was delicious. I added a half teaspoon of Desert Heat from Buffalo Wild Wings for a smidge of heat. We really enjoyed it.
Amazingly good flavor for such a simple recipe! The grilling instructions were spot-on and created juicy, tender chicken. Yum!
Just WOW. absolutely delicious not too spicy and not too dull. Just the right amount of flavor. Made a bunch for a Memorial Day party and EVERYONE raved about my chicken! Super impressed.
Great flavor! This is a keeper. Thank you!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe!! Perfect chicken to add to salads, pasta or as a meal. I make it at least once a week.
This chicken was really good. I doubled it and had very little leftovers. The marinade was very good and left a nice glaze on the chicken. This oneās a keeper!
I love everything about chicken. Will try to make this one too. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.
Great, you’ll love it!
Has anyone tried this on an indoor grill? I canāt grill outdoors where I live.

I don’t like the fennel, can I take it off. Also, where do I find smoked paprika? Thank you
yes, you can definitely take it out. Smoked Paprika you can find at the grocery store, right where the spices are. š
Last week tried the recipe with Spice Rub, It was awesome!! Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
hurray! So glad you loved it Brad!
I love to cook. Finding and updating new menu recipes every day makes me more interested and interested in my work. Today’s my lucky day, The BEST Grilled Chicken Recipe with Spice Rub is great, just follow the instructions and everything is easy, I like that. Thanks for your sharing
I made this last night for my very health conscious son and it was so flavorful (and quick & easy)! Going into our weekday rotation. Thank you!
Tried this recipe this weekend, It rocked my home!! Loved my kids.
Yassss sis! Thanks for the recipe! š„š„ One of my first to actually come out the way it should. FYI, I pan seared and baked mine in the absence of a grill.
Nice rub. The coriander gives it a unique and savory flavor. Used an indoor grill pan. Chicken came out moist and delicious!
Came across this recipe because we needed a basic chicken spice mix (for chicken on homemade pizza, didn’t want to put it on bland). This was one of the first results on google and I didn’t really expect anything special. But oh my gosh this was SO GOOD. My boyfriend and I were huge fans and the chicken was the star of the pizza. Definitely gonna use this spice mix for other purposes as well.
(in case people wonder I made 2 small changes because I didn’t have garlic powder: I used 2 cloves fresh garlic instead and added 1/2 tsp of onion powder because I feel that works well when subbing garlic powder by fresh)
Outrageously good. I add a few things like a bit of Chipotle or African Cayenne to give a touch of ”zing”. I have a dual infra-red and conventional bbq so I zap it about 90 seconds on each side at over 1000 degrees then wrap and seal it in foil on the top shelf, about a 400 deg bbq for 7-12 mins, depending on breast size. I use my handy=dandy remote reading thermometer and as soon as it hits 160F it’s outta there……..gains a few more deg to make 165. It will dry out very quickly if you cook it too long. When cooked just long enough, it is incredibly flavorful, tender and juicy. Our favorite way to serve is on a hollowed out Costco Kirkland sandwich roll with a mayo/chipotle power dressing. It was so good I bought bulk qtys of the ingredients, made a 5 pound batch (thats A LOT of chicken breasts) and gave it to friends as gifts. They’re still thanking me (probably campaigning for more truth be known). While the ingredients are fairly plebeian, the recipients think its made of cardamom and saffron…… I also added a bit more salt, a finer grain kosher as I like the crusting effect on the high temp bbq. I can’t thank you enough for this recipe, it is now the only way we care to eat chicken, at least grilled.
I love this recipe! Made it 2 times already! Thank you so much!
This recipe is great,thatās what Iām looking for, I can save my time but still have a nice meal. Many thanks for sharing.
Delicious! Had two packets of thinly cut chicken breasts (strips) so doubled some of recipe (not salt nor garlic) and put less cumin, per preference. This is a new favorite! Thanks for sharing!
I added some herbs to it, thyme and basil. 1/4tsp hot chilli powder for kick. Ranch sauce on the side. Mixed some in. 9/10 with veggies garlic and onions in a wok.
The joy and satisfaction in my face canāt explain how delicious this recipe is. Awesome! First attempt to cook and it turn great. My husband loves the blend of the chicken and spice.
hhaha.. I love it! Wish I could’ve seen your face!
Krista, thank you for sharing this! I have made this so many times. Everyone that tries it, loves it!
Krista, thanks for sharing! Saved my butt on a quick impulsive idea for a dinner side!
haha… woohoo!! So glad to hear that! I’m in the game of “saving butts” for dinner haha š
I have made this recipe many times over without changing anything. Sometimes I use chicken thighs. I have baked in the oven as well but grilling is the best. It is the BEST!
This was wonderful! Never knew that those flavors would come out as they did in this beautiful dish! Follow the recipe word for word!!!
I just made this recipe tonight and everyone loved it! Very easy and delicious! Thank you!
It’s amazing! I just randomly found your blog looking for this recipe. Awesome! Good for you!
Definitely The BEST Grilled Chicken recipe that I made, the chicken was at its perfect point. Thank you
We enjoyed this so much it now features on our website! https://yunnankitchen.com/grilled-chicken-breast-recipes/
Itās awesome! I cannot wait to try this. I bet it makes the house smell divine and tastes incredible!
Just tried this rub with the family! AMAZING! You nailed the amount of salt – not too much, just right! I added 1/2tsp of ancho chile powder, which was subtle, but complementary. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
I’ve just tasted with my parents. They loved it and they just wanna say “awesome” thanks
Well this is frickin delicious!
So fast and easy to make this dish! I will make it on this Friday for the BBQ party. Can’t wait for it!
We loved this so much it featured on our Best Grilled Chicken Recipes !! https://www.joyfulhealthyeats.com/the-best-grilled-chicken-recipe-with-spice-rub/
Did this with chicken thighs. The wife and I loved it! Very good.
I added a half teaspoon of cinnamon and used thighs which i grilled. Very very tasty
Wow!!! Pretty much sums it up. Quick and easy, and tastes incredible. Thanks for this amazing recipe loved by even my fussiest of children š
Delicious, tried this tonight on chicken thighs because I didn’t have time for marinating, I will definitely be using it again. Simple, fast, and makes grilled meat even better. thanks for sharing.
I’ve made this twice, and my husband absolutely loves it. He has made specific comments about it being so good. Thanks for an easy chicken seasoning!
LOVE THIS RECIPE! It is the best chicken. I have even fixed it and I overcooked it and it was still great. I have told everyone about it and they love it too! Great as an entree but I like to make ahead and freeze then use some for salads at work.
My family was almost ruined for grilled chicken breasts ā this saved us! DELICIOUS!!! the recipe is more of a paste than a rub but I will be most certainly be making this again ā very flavorful and easy. If you want to put it over the top, pound and brine your chicken ā wow. Thank you!!!
Honestly the best grilled chicken recipe!!
Iāve made this twice in one week! Amazing! Iām doing my first Whole30, and I can tell this chicken will be on repeat over the next few weeks. I canāt believe how easy and delicious it is. Thank you!!
Omgoodness! I googled an easy chicken marinade the other day bc I am hopeless when it comes to seasoning or marinading things on my own. I found this one and happened to have all the ingredients on hand. So I used it on my chicken before I grilled it. It was the best tasting chicken Iāve ever made! This will forever be my go to!
Loved it!! So delicious with some roasted veggies!
You’ve certainly gotten enough of these comments already… but, holy moly this was good. Way better than I expected. My husband even grilled up a burger for me because I thought it would just be “regular old grilled chicken”. So wrong. Thanks for a new regular in our recipe collection!
Oh wow. I never leave comments but I made this last night and I’m literally counting down to when I can eat the leftovers today! Amazing!! šš
haha… awesome Danielle. It’s great as leftovers too, perfect to add to a salad or wrap š
I made this last night and all I can say is that best grill chicken I ever had, me and my son devoured the a whole entire thing before I could even make a side dish for it. Canāt wait for my daughter to come back from Los Angeles to try it.
I stumbled upon this recipe searching for the best grilled chicken and holy crap this is so yummy!! It was absolutely delicious!! I’ve been looking for a new grilled chicken for dinners and it was a hit! Thank you for sharing ā„ļø
haha… I know right! It’s one of the most popular recipes on my site for sure! Glad you found me and that you enjoyed the chicken Kelley!
This chicken was one of the best I have ever cooked. Thank you so much for this recipe.
Wohoo! So glad to hear that Ryan. it’s a staple at our house in the summer, perfect to grill up and have throughout the week for grain bowls, sandwiches or salads!
Used this spice blend on the chicken breast I grilled tonight and really liked the flavor. Would absolutely use again.
Hi! When you say 3 chicken breasts, do you mean 3 full chicken breasts (as in the breasts of 3 chickens?) or 3 half breasts of chicken (as in the breast meat of 1 1/2 chickens)? Thanks!
Hey I used 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
This rub just works. Easy peasy. Instant delight.
That is a great recipe, i made it myself . It was really good.
What if I want to make this recipe but in the oven instead, what is preheated temperature would you recommend and how long would you recommend I bake it?
I would bake at 375 degrees F for 15-20 minutes
Delicious recipe. Thank you for sharing such an amazing and easy recipe, I had a great time making this delicious recipe, a must try dish for everyone. Please keep sharing such quick and easy recipes. Also, check my collection of similar healthy and which can be made quickly and tastes heavenly.
I love love love this recipe. However, I did use lemon pepper instead of the coranider (just because I forgot to buy coranider and Google said it was a good substitute). Anyway, I will definitely be making this recipe again,
Tried this seasoning rub last night on chicken drums and thighs and it turned out excellent! I applied the wet rub on the chicken about an hour before cooking and let it sit in the fridge, then easily put it on the grill. The skin crisped up perfectly and the spices were a tasty blend. I didn’t have smoke paprika so used regular, but will be on the look out for it at the store. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Hurray! I bet it is awesome on chicken thighs! Nothing like a good crispy skin. š
This rub was fantastic! Will definitely make again and again. Thanks for a quick and tasty recipe!
Awesome to hear Jennifer! So glad you loved the rub, it’s definitely a favorite of ours!
Love this rub on my chicken! !
Awesome rub! Also used for roasting vegetables! AMAZING! I feel like a professional chef in my own home.
Ohh love that you used the spice rub for veggies as well! You go girl!
You we’re right… this is THE BEST chicken spice rub! We made it last night. It was so easy, as we already had all of the ingredients on hand. And it was so good!!! It’s our new go-to rub. Thank you!
woohoo! So glad you loved the chicken Kelsey AND that you already had all the ingredients. Major bonus!
WOW…All these comments about how good this looks and nobody has made it!!!
I used this rub on chunks of chicken to use on kabobs. It was fantastic!
Woohoo! So glad to hear it, and that’s a great idea!
What if I’m out of coriander?
you could use dry cilantro if you’d like š
This chicken was delish! I didn’t mix the ingredients in the bowl, I just sprinkled them on the chicken, and drizzled the oil over the top, and I was all out of coriander, so I just chopped up some fresh cilantro and sprinkled it on top. Will be having again and again. Thanks.
Awesome! Love the improv, so glad you enjoyed it Beth!
This rub was perfect. I only used 1 TBS oil and same amount of spices for 20 oz of chicken breast. I don’t have a grill, so I cooked it by searing it on a cast iron skillet for 5 mins on one side and 3 in the other. Then put it in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 mins (the thicker one needed 20). So juicy and delicious!!!
Awesome! Glad it turned out well Jen! I love this recipe and you’re right it’s so juicy and loaded with flavor!
Guess what just happened? I’ll tell ya what just happened! I made this chicken and it is wonderful! This morning I cut up the chicken breast into small chunks and sprinkle the rub all over it and put it in the fridge until I got home this evening and cooked it. Added a little canola oil to a pan. It’s raining here in Dallas so I’m not grilling tonight. But tossed it in the skillet to cook and it’s holy cow amazing. I’m shredding the left overs for chicken tacos tomorrow night. Thank you!!!!!
I know right! That spice rub is incredible! Hope you enjoy those tacos Heather! š

Dell just looked over my shoulder and said “mmmm chicken”. Which means this is going on my meal plan! We too eat chicken, so much chicken I get so board with cooking it. Looking forward to trying this!

I am always looking for new chicken recipes because it’s my kids’ favorite and now that the weather has warmed up I am obsessed with grilling so this is PERFECT! Pinned š
Hurray! Yeah for grilling season and warmer weather! Thanks for the pin girl!
That looks delicious! Great combination of spices.
Thank you so much Valerie!
Girl the flavor of this chicken looks absolutely beyond!
Thank you so much girl! It seriously is… love it when I shock myself when coming up with a recipe. haha š (i mean knew exactly what I was doing!)
These look perfectly grilled and absolutely amazing, Krista!
Thank you Melanie!
I love smoked paprika, it’s one of my favorite spices! I put it in all of my spice rubs š
Yes! Me too! Love the stuff… gives off crazy flavor. Its the hidden gem of the spice world!
I always make my chicken in the crock pot because I am clearly the most creative person everrrr. My husband was just sweetly commenting the other day about our bland chicken dinners…perhaps we need to add this delicious grilled chicken to the rotation. š Loving that spice rub!
Pinned!
haha.. you are too sweet Mariah! Change up that crock pot chicken to this, I promise you and the hubs will love it! š Thanks for the pin girl! Muah!
Hello Krista
I am definitely making this chicken soon! That spice rub sounds incredible, and I’d be licking my fingers too! Your photos are absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much Kristine, you are too sweet. Its hard to make chicken mouthwatering ya know.. its not like it has hot fudge dripping down so its a little more of a challenge. š Hope you like the recipe!
These are the prettiest chicken breasts ever! I love how packed they are with spices, I know my husband would love this!
haha.. well thanks Annie! š I know your husband would love them too, hope you get a chance to try them!
Oh my my my! I wanna fire up the grill like right now! We also eat a whole lotta chicken, thanks to me, and looks like your recipe is going to be used on my next chicken-victim. š
haha.. hurray! Can’t wait to hear how the chicken victim turns out! š
next time instead of saying 3 breasts, put the pounds, they come in all sizes…. This just leaves room for an under seasoned or over seasoned chicken…. looks good though…. needed more salt…..
Thanks Eddie, will do. Just for future reference it’s about 1.5 lbs. of meat.
