Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon snipped fresh basil or 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/3 cup mayonnaise or 1/3 cup salad dressing
2 tablespoons dijon-style mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 dash onion powder
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash white pepper
2 drops bottled hot pepper sauce

Steps:

  • To make Basil Butter: In small saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over low heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, the basil, and the 3/4 teaspoon onion powder. Set aside.
  • To make the Mustard Sauce: Stir together all ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate sauce until you are ready to serve.
  • To prepare the chicken: Trim any fat, rinse and pat dry. Place each breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outer edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap.
  • Grill the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink. Halfway through the grilling, turn the chicken over and generously brush each with the Basil Butter Sauce. Serve the chicken with the mustard sauce.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon (packed) grated lemon peel
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet and sauté until brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes Per side. Transfer chicken to platter; tent with foil.

  • Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic ingredients.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken instead of seared chicken.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the Chicken Rest: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
