I got this dinner idea out of Southern Living. Pretty quick and easy. Prep time includes chilling time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/2 cup chopped fresh lemon basil or 1/2 cup regular basil |
3 green onions, chopped |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1/2-inch thick) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
hot cooked rice |
Directions:
1. Whisk together first six ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well.
2. Add chicken, cover and refrigerate for 40 minutes or so, turning occasionally.
3. Remove chicken from marinade, and save marinade.
4. Cook chicken in 1 tablespoon hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
5. Pour reserved marinade through a wire mesh strainer into skillet.
6. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 8-10 minutes or until chicken is done.
7. Serve over rice.
