Cup of Yum

- Season chicken breast with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan on medium heat.
- Grill chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. The internal temperature should register 160.
- To achieve blackened grill marks, do not move the chicken breast once you lay it on the grill and then again once your flip it over.
- Let chicken breast rest at least 5 minutes, I like mine to cool off completely before adding it to the salad.
