I’ve been buying those Costco sized fresh chicken breast packs lately

I season pretty liberally with AP (salt, pepper, garlic) and let them sit for 20 minutes before putting on the grill.

Once on the grill, I’ll dust with some Tony Chachere’s and lightly spray with cooking spray to bind. Pull when the internal hits 155. Dice into cubes or slice and that’s protein for the week.

Only need to hit 155 for something like 30 seconds to kill all the bad stuff.

If I were not lazy, I'd look up the USDA chart that proves it.
