How to cook chicken without a grill:
Don’t have a grill? No problem! If you don’t have a grill, you can grill your chicken indoors on a grill pan.
Grease your grill pan with cooking spray and set it over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken on the grill pan and cook for 4 minutes on each side.
Place the grill pan in the oven and cook at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
You could also grill your chicken indoors on a George Foreman grill with no problems.
