Basil and Garlic-Slathered Chicken Breasts
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 4    |   Ready In: < 30 minutes

Ingredients:
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
olive oil, to taste (+ additional for grill)
few drops lemon juice, optional
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Directions:
In a food processor or a mortar, process or mash the garlic together with the salt. Add the basil and pepper and continue to mix until well combined. Add just enough oil to make a paste. If desired, add a few drops of lemon juice. Set aside.

Pat the chicken dry. Place the chicken between 2 sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap and, using your hand, a skillet or a rolling pin, gently flatten it to an even thickness of about 1/2". Transfer to a resealable plastic bag or a plate, add the basil paste and shake or smear to coat the chicken evenly.

Preheat the grill or place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the rack or pan.

Grill the chicken, turning once, just until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Serve hot.
