Grilling delicious chicken breast on your George Foreman Grill is easy. It can be cooked in just minutes with very minimal preparation. Chicken breast is considered healthy, affordable and versatile since there are many ways to prepare and cook it. And once you put it on the George Foreman Grill you can actually make restaurant-quality grilled chicken breast with very little expertise (Have you tried this one?).
How to Make George Foreman Grill Chicken Breast
For grill chicken breast, I recommend using skinless boneless chicken breast, 1/2″ to 3/4″ thick, to produce the optimal results. It’s also important to preheat your Grill (up to maximum temperature) as it sears in the flavors.
Here’s a quick, easy and unbelievably delicious chicken breast recipe that you can make right on your George Foreman Grill.
Ingredients
- 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts (1/2″ – 3/4″ thick)
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your George Foreman Grill for at least 5-7 minutes on high with the lid closed.
Step 2
Lightly brush chicken breasts with olive oil.
Step 3
Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Place on grill and grill for 6 minutes (with an optimal internal temperature of 165F/74C).
Step 5
Make sure to turn the chicken breasts halfway around the 3-minute mark so they get nice grill marks on both sides.
Enjoy your freshly grilled chicken!

Very helpful, thank you!
I thought chicken had to be cooked to 165F?
@Christina, That depends on how you want to cook it. A good span of 130°F to 165 offers you the best.
Eep! This is so incorrect. Chicken needs to be cooked to 165 degrees to kill all the bacteria according to the FDA guidelines and according to ServSafe’s kitchen safety standards. If you’re going to heat it 145 you need to be cooking for around 9 minutes to kill the same amount of bacteria.
Yes!! Wth never cook undercooked chicken, 130 is NOT OK.
As long as the juices run clear it’s done.
Hi my George forman has no heat setting to tell me the temperature just a heat dial from 1 to the highest at 4 so which will I put it at for the chicken please as I have never cooked chicken on it before
most foreman grills get the marks on both sides without flipping.
Yes, but I have an electric grill like an actual grill. It has the bottom with the grill part and the top is a dome so it is helpful to have this type of recipe. I had to look specifically for it because most assumed I had the traditional kind with the top and bottom grill.
Hello, If you have a electric grill you would need to turn any item you cook on it unless stated on the grilling instructions. I used to have one of these grills I loved it. Hope this helps. Use it like a charcoal or gas grill. And do cook your chicken about 9 minutes per side depending on size of chicken breast.
Unless you have one that is like a bbq grill with lift off lid.
