Grilled Basil Chicken image

This cinch of a marinade gives the chicken lots of Italian flavor. Serve the chicken with a tossed green salad and garlic breadsticks, or put slices on a ciabatta roll along with lettuce, tomato and mozzarella cheese for a zesty handheld meal. -Lisa Moriarty, Wilton, New Hampshire

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of basil, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The basil flavor was subtle and complemented the chicken perfectly.
