Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1 zest from lemon
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves packed
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Place all marinade ingredients in a food processor (or blender) and blend well.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a sealable bag (careful with the ribs so they don't poke through) and pour in the marinade.
  • Work the marinade around to cover the chicken breasts and then squeeze as much air out of the bag as you can and seal it.
  • Place the bag in a bowl (in case the ribs made a hole in the bag) and place the bag in the refrigerator.
  • Marinate the chicken for around 4 - 6 hours, turning the bag a few times throughout so that the chicken gets equal love from the marinade.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and place the bag of marinating chicken on the kitchen counter about 30 minutes before grilling, just to warm the breasts up a little.
  • Follow these directions to grill your chicken.
