  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon chili pepper flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

2. Transfer ¾ of this mixture to the baking dish or resealable bag to coat chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
3. Take the remaining ¼ mixture and store it in your fridge for serving (after the chicken is cooked).

Cooking Instructions:

1. Grill on medium-high heat (400 degrees) and lightly oil the grates.

2. Cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes--until it easily releases from the grates.

3. Flip and cook an additional 5 minutes, or until cooked to 165 degrees.

4. Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the reserved marinade drizzled over the top.
