The traditional George Foreman Grill is a countertop, electrical kitchen appliance that quickly cooks food. It can cook chicken in less than 10 minutes, with less fat and fuss. There are a number of George Foreman grills available, ranging in sizes and including free standing grills that can be used outside. Cooking times may vary, depending on the grill and the thickness of the chicken. The following instructions are primarily aimed at the countertop George Foreman Grill.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Choose boneless, skinless chicken to cook on the George Foreman Grill. This might be boneless breasts, thighs or chicken tenders. Try to stay under an inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Marinate your chicken or lightly brush it with olive oil. If you have a marinade recipe that you would like to use, the marinade will need to be drained off before you add the chicken to the George Foreman Grill.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat the George Foreman Grill for five minutes. Some models have temperature settings, such as low, medium and high, and others simply have an on or off button. Turn the grill on, and if yours has a temperature setting, refer to your owner's manual or turn the temperature to medium. Keep the lid shut while you are preheating the grill.

  4. Step 4

    Set the trough in place to catch the grease. Many models have a small portable trough that is placed under the front portion of the grill to catch any grease overflow. If your George Foreman Grill requires this trough, set it in place.

  5. Step 5

    Open the lid of the George Foreman Grill and spray both sides of the grill with non-stick cooking spray.

  6. Step 6

    Place the chicken on the George Foreman Grill, in one layer. Close the lid.

  7. Step 7

    Cook the chicken for five to nine minutes for boneless thighs and breasts, and three to four minutes for chicken tenders. About halfway through the cooking time, lift the grill and test the chicken with a tip of a knife, to see if it needs more cooking time.
