zesty basil chicken

The combination of fresh basil and other seasonings gives this chicken a wonderful aroma. It’s a real crowd-pleaser at picnics and potlucks—folks always come back for seconds!

1/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
4 bone-in chicken breast halves, skin removed (7 ounces each)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

In a small bowl, combine butter, basil, onion, garlic and salt if desired. Rub pepper and lemon-pepper into chicken. Brush with butter mixture.
Grill chicken, covered, over medium-low heat, 15-23 minutes on each side or until juices run clear, basting with marinade frequently. Before serving, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Yield: 4 servings.
