Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a baking dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while the grill heats up.

Step 4

Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 5

After the chicken is cooked, distribute the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each breast.

Step 6

Close the grill lid and let the cheese melt, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Once the cheese has melted, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 3 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of low-carb sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
