Garlic sauce is an extremely versatile sauce that can be used with a variety of foods. It is commonly used with grilled meats, vegetables, seafood and pasta. Garlic sauce is simple to make and only requires a few ingredients. You probably already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen. Garlic sauce is typically thin in consistency, but you may desire a thicker, creamier sauce. The great thing about making it yourself is that you can adjust the ingredients to suit your personal preference. Experiment by adding different herbs and spices to find just the right flavor profile to complement your favorite dishes.

THICK-STYLE LEBANESE GARLIC SAUCE
This version is a fail-safe recipe that our family has perfected for the Lebanese Garlic Sauce. It can be used as a condiment on grilled meats, as a salad dressing, and in dishes that require good garlic flavor. We have found immersion blending works much better than using the blender. If you double the batch, don't double the salt, rather use 1 1/2 tablespoons.

Steps:
- Place the garlic, salt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and olive oil in a quart-sized jar. Submerge an immersion blender in the mixture to the bottom of the jar. Mix with the blender resting on the bottom of the jar until the ingredients thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Angle the mixer to pull ingredients from the sides of the jar and lift it toward the top to better combine. Continue blending until the mixture reaches a texture similar to mayonnaise.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Season chicken breasts with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
