1. Can I use chicken thighs?
Yes! Boneless skinless chicken thighs are juicier and work great. 2. Can I cook this on a stovetop?
Definitely! Use a cast iron skillet for best results. 3. Is freshly grated Parmesan necessary?
Yes—pre-shredded cheese won’t melt as nicely and lacks flavor. 4. What’s the best oil to use?
Extra virgin olive oil enhances flavor, but avocado oil is a good high-heat alternative. 5. Can I marinate the chicken in advance?
Yes. Marinate in olive oil, herbs, garlic, and lemon for up to 24 hours. 6. What are some great side dishes?
Garlic bread, lemony couscous, Caesar salad, or grilled asparagus are excellent. 7. Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just make sure your Blackstone griddle has enough surface space. 8. Is this keto-friendly?
Yes, it's low-carb and perfect for keto diets. 9. Can I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?
In a pinch, use 1 tsp garlic powder, but fresh is more flavorful. 10. What wine pairs well with this?
Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio both complement the garlic-Parmesan flavor perfectly. 🏁 Conclusion
