Time 36m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 pinches pepper

Steps:

  • Garlic Butter:.
  • Mash butter, garlic, pepper and lemon juice together in small bowl. Butter should be of uniform texture and slightly coarse. Don not over mix to completely smooth texture or it will take too long to firm up.
  • Place softened butter on a piece of plastic wrap and form into log, using plastic to form casing. Place butter in freezer to firm up until just before serving the meal. Butter will firm up faster if you place it directly on the freezer shelf.
  • At last minute, remove plastic wrap and slice log into 8 pieces.
  • Chicken:.
  • Coat chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper in bowl.
  • Grill, broil or pan-grill chicken 4 to 6 minutes on each side.
  • Top with 1 to 2 slices of garlic butter. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH HERB BUTTER

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, basil, chives or other herb
4 bone-in chicken breasts
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil as needed
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare charcoal or gas grill; heat should be medium-high and rack about 6 inches from fire; keep part of grill cool for indirect cooking. In a small bowl, use a spoon or fork to combine butter and herbs, or use a mini food processor.
  • With sharp-bladed knife, cut a 2- to 3-inch slit in deepest part of chicken. Fill with as much herb butter as possible; rub some under skin as well. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and brush with oil.
  • When grill is ready, put chicken skin-side up on cool side of grill. After some fat has been rendered, turn chicken; if it flares up, move to an even cooler part of fire or turn so skin side is up again. When skin has lost its raw look and most of the fat has been rendered, after 20 minutes or so, move chicken directly over fire. Cook, turning now and then, until both sides are browned and flesh is firm and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.
