How long to cook chicken breast on smokeless grill?

Cooking chicken breast on a smokeless grill typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken and the grill's temperature. 

Here are some general guidelines:

1. **Preheat the Grill**: 

Preheat your smokeless grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).

2. **Prepare the Chicken**: 

Season the chicken breast as desired. For even cooking, it's best if the chicken is of uniform thickness. 

You can pound it to an even thickness if necessary.

3. **Cooking Time**:

   - **Thin breasts (about ½ inch thick)**: Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.

   - **Thicker breasts (about 1 inch thick)**: Cook for about 7 to 10 minutes on each side.

4. **Check for Doneness**: 

The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.

5. **Rest**: 

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.

Adjust the cooking time as needed based on your specific grill and the size of the chicken breasts.
