I love the touch of lemon and combination of herbs. Pure summer.
1/4 cup cilantro leaves and delicate stems
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/4 cup basil leaves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
Combine all ingredients except for chicken in a mini food processor and blend to emulsify. Place sauce in bowl, add chicken and mix to coat evenly. If cooking in more than one hours time, refrigerate. I left mine in the refrigerator overnight and the flavor and texture of the chicken turned out great.
Grill the chicken until internal temperature reaches 165 F. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice if desired and serve.
Alternatively, pre-heat oven to 375 F convection (400 F). Place chicken on a sheet pan and cook until internal temperature reaches 165 F. Proceed with the recipe as described above.
