Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the fresh basil leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the boneless chicken breasts in a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve with additional fresh basil if desired.
