I’ve never broiled chicken breasts – how long per side?

A new Afghan business operating at Helmand’s Bolan Farm provides 30% of the eggs and 10% of the chickens eaten in the province, said Mohammad Asif Rahimi, Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation & Livestock (MAIL).
“Helmand consumers buy fresh, 100%-Afghan chickens and eggs, and no longer rely so much on imports,” Minister Rahimi said. Afghan investors run the poultry business started on MAIL property by a USAID-funded project begun in 2007. ARAZI, MAIL’s land-lease agency, provided a five-year lease to the investors after a competitive selection process.
“The Bolan Poultry Farm is a proven economic success and now it is owned by Afghan investors, hiring Afghan workers and making delicious food for Afghan families,” Minister Rahimi said. “MAIL and USAID always wanted this project to be taken over by the Afghan business sector and this dream has become a reality.”
The farm can produce up to 90,000 chicks and 750 tons of feed per month. Five distributors, five poultry veterinary clinics, 70 city outlets and 50 outlets in rural districts of Helmand carry poultry products originating from the farm. At last estimate, these coordinated poultry farms supplied 40 percent of Lashkar Gah’s broiler market and 25 percent of its egg market.
“Last year Afghanistan imported more than 60,000 tons of frozen and live chickens, and 40 million eggs,” Minister Rahimi said. “This is unacceptable and needs to be stopped, replaced by Afghan poultry products, raised on Afghan farms by Afghan families, creating jobs and ensuring food-security across Afghanistan.”
“Consumers know that the most nutritious, safest and freshest food comes from here in Afghanistan,” Minister Rahimi added. “Projects such as this make our businesses stronger, and the food that they produce makes our children stronger.”
Question by pookiemct07: I’ve never broiled chicken breasts – how long per side?
I marinated them. The are about an inch thick. Will the marinade that’s on them get all charred? Why can’t I find a single recipe?
Help! I’ve got the broiler heating up! Thanks to anyone who knows!

This is the best way to make chicken: Put whatever spices you want on the breasts, wrap them loosely in tin foil, put them in some kind of oven-safe pot, cook on 375 for 35 minutes, turn over and do another 35 minutes. They come out so moist and juicy. My grandma taught me that and they get better everytime I cook them that way.

I usually bake or pan fry mine. They cook very quickly. The marinade may burn so I would bake at 350 degrees for around 25-20 minutes. Cut one open about have way throught the cooking time to check for doneness. They need to be all white.

You will want to grill them approximately 4-6 minutes on each side. You can make a small slit in the center of one to check for doneness, or take the temp–170 is done.
Have fun grilling!
Sorry–I mis–thought the question! I was thinking grilling not broiling….although it would be about the same. I hope that you pounded your chicken before you marinated them, so that they would cook evenly–if so, it would be the same amt of time, if not, you will have to do a little guessing.
To Oven Bake, however, that requires 30-40 minutes total.
