First, this little tidbit:
4-year-old Cousin: "Do you catch fish at the fish hatchery?"
Me: "Nope"
Cousin: "Do you eat fish at the fish hatchery?"
Me: "Nope"
Cousin: "Then what do you do at the fish hatchery?"
Me: "You will never know."
Working at a fish hatchery and not being involved with the fish in any way is difficult for anyone to understand.
Recipe for Grilled Basil-Marinated Chicken:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Directions
Whisk together the oil, vinegar, basil, onion, salt, peppercorns, and garlic in a bowl. Transfer the marinade to a gallon-sized sealable plastic bag with the chicken and shake to combine. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours.
When ready to cook, build a charcoal fire or preheat gas grill.
Remove chicken from the marinade. Grill the chicken, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a platter and garnish with the basil sprigs.
This turned out to be DELICIOUS. Unfortunately I had to serve hungry little kids so there aren't any pictures, but trust me it was delightful and a perfect summer meal to grill!
