Grilled chicken breasts tend to be a bit boring so I like to stuff them with a bunch of herbs, breadcrumbs and garlic. I think they taste infinitely better this way and the stuffing helps keep the chicken moist. Ingredients:
5 teaspoons butter, divided |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram |
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
Directions:
1. In a small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, heat 2 teaspoons butter. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender. Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, 1/8 teaspoon salt, marjoram and thyme.
2. Cut a pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast. Fill with bread crumb mixture; secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle chicken with remaining salt. In a microwave, melt remaining butter; stir in lemon peel.
3. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Grill chicken over medium heat 6-9 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink, brushing occasionally with butter mixture during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Discard toothpicks before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
