Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breast halves, without skin
• 3 tablespoons fresh chopped basil, or 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
• Juice of 2 lemons, or about 1/3 cup
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or canola oil
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• fresh basil or fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

1. Put chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap; gently pound to even thickness for even and quick cooking.

2. Combine marinade ingredients in a plastic food storage bag; add chicken and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Heat an oiled grill pan, grill rack, or broiler pan. Arrange chicken on hot pan or rack and grill or broil for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning often. Serve with fresh basil leaves or parsley, if desired.
