Grilled Basil Buttered Chicken

Author: Roz

Ingredients

Grilled Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 - 3 Tbsp. garden-fresh basil chopped
  • Sprinkle of my favorite go-to 'trinity' seasonings: Mrs. Dash for chicken, Nature's Seasons, and Accent

Basil-Butter Sauce

  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 Tbsp. garden-fresh basil chopped
  • 2 - 3 Tbsp. Parmigiano-Regiano finely grated
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the chicken with your favorite chicken seasonings (mine is listed above: my go-to 'trinity' for everything I grill).
  • Melt the butter.
  • Blend in basil.
  • Brush the chicken breasts with basil-butter mixture.
  • Grill chicken breasts about 8 minutes on each side depending on how large they are (we select large sized chicken breasts) and how well-done you like your chicken (we like our moist and not dry).
  • Continually baste chicken with any remaining mixture while grilling to keep them ultra-moist and super flavorful.
  • Prepare Basil-Butter Sauce by combining all ingredients.
  • Serve grilled chicken breasts with the basil-butter sauce at the table for guests to top on their own.
  • Serve with fresh, thickly-cut Italian bread to dip into the basil-butter sauce and/or mop up what is on the plate.
