• Meat Thermometer – Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked. This ensure that it is cooked to a safe temperature before serving.
• Oil the Griddle – You can use canola oil, vegetable oil or coconut oil instead of the avocado oil in this recipe. We just do not recommend using olive oil as it has a low smoke point.

• Garlic Butter Sauce – Feel free to change the seasoning of your garlic butter sauce. You can add in soy sauce or use garlic powder.
• Golden Brown – Cook chicken until it is golden brown and reaches internal temperature of 165 degrees.
• Lime Juice – Once this chicken is done cooking, squeeze lime juice over the top for added flavor.
• Flipping Chicken – We recommend on flipping chicken once on the grill. This allows for the chicken to sear a golden brown on each side.
• Rest Chicken – Before slicing the juicy chicken breast, we recommend letting the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes. This allows for the juice to lock into the chicken. If you slice the chicken to early the juices release and the chicken could be dryer.
