• 10 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Ingredient Notes

1. Chicken – Chicken tenderloins cook quickly and stay juicy, but you can also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips.

2. Garlic – Fresh garlic is key! Minced garlic infuses the butter sauce with an incredible aroma.

3. Parmesan Cheese – Freshly grated Parmesan melts beautifully and enhances the flavor.

4. Hot Sauce – Adds a mild heat; adjust based on your preference

Direction

Step 1: Preheat the Blackstone Griddle

Heat your Blackstone to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Evenly spread it using a spatula.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

In a bowl, toss the chicken tenderloins with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for a couple of minutes while the griddle heats up.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Place the chicken on the hot griddle and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce

On the cooler side of the griddle, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Stir continuously for about a minute until fragrant. Add the red pepper flakes and hot sauce, mixing well.

Step 5: Coat the Chicken in the Sauce

Return the cooked chicken to the griddle, tossing it in the garlic butter sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and let it melt for about a minute.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

Remove the chicken from the griddle, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

1. Spicier Kick – Add more red pepper flakes or a few dashes of cayenne pepper.

2. Creamy Sauce – Stir in a splash of heavy cream to the butter sauce for a richer texture.

3. Alternative Cooking Method – No Blackstone? Use a cast-iron skillet on the stove!

4. Make it a Meal – Serve with pasta, rice, or inside a sandwich.

Expert Tips & Troubleshooting

1. Don’t Overcrowd the Griddle – Cook in batches if needed to ensure an even sear.

2. Use a Meat Thermometer – Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

3. Stir the Butter Sauce Constantly – Prevent burning by keeping it moving on the griddle.

Serving Suggestions

1. Over Pasta – Toss with cooked spaghetti or fettuccine for a garlic Parmesan chicken pasta.

2. In a Sandwich – Serve in a toasted hoagie roll with extra cheese.

3. With Roasted Veggies – Pair with grilled zucchini, asparagus, or bell peppers.

4. On a Salad – Slice it up and top a fresh garden salad.

Storing & Reheating

1. Fridge – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
