Simple Saturday: Restaurant Grilled Chicken

For some time now, I've been trying to recreate those juicy, flavorful chicken breasts you get at restaurants on top of caesar salads, pasta, and other dishes.  I've finally discovered the secret!
Ingredients
Make-Ahead Preparation
  • Drizzle olive oil on chicken.  Rub to coat.
  • Sprinkle spices evenly over top side of chicken.
  • Store in tupperware in refrigerator or freezer. 
To Serve
  • Completely thaw.
  • Heat grill on high heat.
  • Place chicken on grill, spiced side up.  Reserve any juices.  
  • Cook for approximately six minutes, lid closed, until underside is cooked but does not begin to brown.  (But, the places where the chicken has touched the grill should begin to blacken, leaving those beautiful grill marks behind.)
  • Turn chicken over, so that spiced side is down.  Pour any reserved juices over chicken.  Cook (lid closed) until chicken is cooked through, approximately six minutes.
  • Turn off heat.  Let chicken sit on warm grill with lid closed for approximately 5 minutes to re-absorb some of the juices.
  • Slice and serve, spiced side up!
