Grill or broil these light, tasty marinated chicken breasts.

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Dash salt
  • Dash ground black pepper

Preparation:

Wash chicken and pat dry; place between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.

In a plastic food storage bag, combine the chicken, basil, olive oil, mustard, lemon, and salt and pepper. Seal and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Grill or broil for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, or until cooked through.
