Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
8 oz tomato sauce
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
3 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
1 tsp olive or vegetable oil
3 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, lemon juice and half of the garlic. Mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, then add the basil and set aside.
While sauce is simmering, in a small bowl, combine the remaining garlic, lemon peel, and oil. Mix well. Place chicken in a glass or ceramic dish and rub with lemon peel mixture. Cover dish with plastic wrap and chill for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 8 minutes per side. Brush with the sauce and continue grilling for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with the tip of a knife.
Note: If you do not have fresh basil, you can add either fresh oregano in its place or dried, but use half as much if it is dried.
