Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For a gas grill, set all burners to medium-high. If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal and let it burn until covered with gray ash.
Remove the frozen chicken breasts from their packaging. If desired, rinse the chicken under cold water to remove any ice crystals. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil or use cooking spray to lightly coat them. This will help prevent sticking and promote even browning.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings or marinade of your choice. Ensure both sides of the chicken are evenly seasoned.
Place the seasoned frozen chicken breasts directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the grill lid to retain heat and promote even cooking. Grill the chicken for approximately 10-15 minutes per side, flipping once halfway through. Use tongs or a spatula to handle the chicken carefully.
To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken breasts should reach a minimum temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Once the chicken reaches the appropriate temperature, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier chicken breast. Slice or serve the chicken as desired.
