Grilling chicken in waterless cookware like Platinum cookware is a fantastic way to cook while preserving moisture and enhancing flavor, without using extra water. Since Platinum cookware retains heat efficiently, the chicken will cook in its own juices and stay tender and juicy. Here's a recipe for Grilled Chicken in Platinum Cookware:
Grilled Chicken in Platinum Waterless Cookware
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the chicken:
Wash your chicken in the the Platinum Alkaline Ionized Water Machine. Use acidic level 2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the chicken to sear better in the cookware. -
Season the chicken:
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano (or thyme), salt, and pepper. Rub the olive oil (or melted butter) over the chicken, and then coat the chicken evenly with the seasoning mix. If you want an extra burst of flavor, drizzle with lemon juice. -
Preheat the cookware:
Preheat your Platinum waterless cookware on medium heat. Allow the cookware to get hot, but be sure not to let it reach a very high temperature, as the cookware retains heat well. A medium-low setting is typically sufficient. -
Grill the chicken:
Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the preheated cookware. Don't add any additional oil, as the chicken will release its own juices and cook in its own moisture. -
Cook the chicken:
Cover the cookware with the lid, making sure the heat is maintained at medium-low. The cookware's tight seal will trap the moisture and steam the chicken. Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken, but it should take around 12–15 minutes total.- Tip: Check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken; the juices should run clear, and the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
-
Rest and Serve:
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the cookware and let it rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and tender. -
Serve:
Slice and serve your perfectly grilled chicken! It pairs well with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or your favorite side dish.
Tips:
- Even cooking: Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. If you are cooking more than 4 pieces of chicken, it's best to do them in batches.
- Searing: If you prefer a more "grilled" or seared texture, you can finish the chicken under a broiler for 1–2 minutes at the end of cooking or give it a quick sear on a grill after cooking in the cookware.
- Variations: You can experiment with other seasonings like cumin, chili powder, or fresh herbs to suit your taste.
Waterless cookware like Platinum will make sure your chicken stays juicy while locking in flavors. Enjoy your healthy, grilled chicken!
