We tried this recipe on a turkey breast at Thanksgiving...and it was awesome! This recipe comes from Southern Living's Five Star Recipe Collection. Ingredients:
3/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper |
4 chicken breast halves, skinned |
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, melted |
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened |
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil |
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
fresh basil sprig (optional) |
Directions:
1. Press 3/4 teaspoon pepper into meaty sides of chicken breast halves. Combine 1/3 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup chopped basil; stir well. Brush on chicken lightly.
2. Combine 1/2 cup softened butter, 2 tablespoons basil, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper in small bowl. Beat at low speed of an electric mixer until mixture is well blended and smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl; set aside.
3. Grill chicken on medium coals 8-10 minutes per side, basting frequently with remaining melted butter mixture.
4. Serve grilled chicken with basil-butter mixture. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs, if desired.
