Method

Preparation

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

2

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

3

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

4

Optional Garnishing

During the last minute of grilling, add lemon slices and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken for added flavor.

Plate the Dish

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with additional lemon slices and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
