Honey Basil Grilled Chicken image

This is a yummy flavor filled chicken dish. It's perfect for those hot summer says when you don't want to heat up the kitchen. It can also be prepared in the broiler. I did not include marinating time in the total prep time. I like to serve it with a rice dish and a spinach salad. A cool key-lime pie would make it a perfect meal!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup lemon juice
2/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil
2/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounce each)
2 medium yellow sweet peppers
2 medium sweet red peppers
vegetable oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine the first 6 ingredients.
  • Cut the peppers into 1-2" pieces.
  • Add the chicken breasts& peppers to the honey mixture.
  • I put all the ingredients in a heavy-duty zip lock bag.
  • Seal the bag and shake it until the chicken& peppers are coated with the honey mixture.
  • Put it in the refrigerator and let it marinate for 3 hours.
  • Turn the bag several times to make sure the chicken and the vegetables are well coated with the marinade.
  • Take the chicken and peppers out of the marinade.
  • Put the marinade in a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce reduces a small amount.
  • This usually takes about 5 minutes.
  • Spray the grill rack with cooking spray.
  • Heat the grill to medium heat.
  • Put the chicken on the rack and close the grill lid.
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes.
  • Turn the chicken and continue cooking for 8-10 minutes.
  • Baste with the marinade during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • The peppers can be grilled in a grilling basket or on skewers.
  • The peppers will need to grill for about 5 minutes on each side.
  • The chicken and peppers can be cooked in your oven broiler.
  • Place them in a single layer on the broiler pan which has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Broil 5-6 inches from the heat for 10 minutes.
  • Turn the chicken and peppers and baste with the marinade.
  • Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes or until chicken is done.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The chicken was cooked well and the glaze was flavorful. However, I think it could have been better with a few tweaks.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was missing some key ingredients. It needed more salt and pepper, and I would have liked to see some garlic and onion powder in the glaze.
