Hello!

BBQ Basil Lemon Chicken Breasts

Makes 8
60 minutes
Difficulty Easy
7 Ingredients

Ingredients (makes 8 chicken breast halves)

8 Boneless chicken breast halves
1 Lemon
1 cup Fresh basil leaves
2 cloves Crushed garlic
1/2 cup Olive oil
1/4 cup White wine vinegar
Pinch Salt and pepper

Method

In a bowl combine the entire zest and juice of one large lemon.
Add in the white wine vinegar and crushed garlic. Stack, roll and slice thin ribbons of basil and add that to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Whisk while drizzling in the olive oil. Reserve a quarter cup of the marinade before tossing the chicken breasts in and turning to coat. Pop it into the fridge to marinate for 30-60 minutes.
Heat grill to medium-medium/high heat. Grill the chicken for 4-6 minutes before turning and basting (the grilled side) with the reserved marinade. Continue to cook for 4-6 more minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken to a platter and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Yummo. Always looking for basil recipes as we have heaps in the garden and it never gets used as much as I’d like.

When you grill the chicken, does the inside get cooked well enough ?

  As a vegetarian I’m not so good at marinading and preparing meat, fish and poultry.

I’m sure this is very tasty but not something I can make. Sounds simple though

Sounds like something I could prepare for my husband as it’s not too much handling, except for the basting
