Basil Grilled Chicken
Delicious Paula Deen grilling recipe. My only suggestion.. add some fresh lemon or lime juice to finished product!
Yield: 4 servings
-
¾
teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 4
-
¼
cup freshly chopped basil leaves, plus 2 tablespoons freshly minced basil leaves
-
⅓
cup (5 tablespoons) butter, melted, plus ½ cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
- 1
- ¼
- ⅛
- ⅛
Prepare your grill.
Press the coarsely ground pepper into the meaty side of the chicken breast halves. Stir the chopped basil into the melted butter. Brush the chicken lightly with this mixture. In a small bowl combine the softened butter, minced basil, parmesan, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Beat at low speed until smoothly blended. Transfer to a small serving bowl and set aside.
Grill the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, basting frequently with the remaining butter mixture.
Serve the chicken with the basil-butter mixture. Garnish with fresh basil.
I suggest some fresh lemon or lime juice squeezed over top.
