Basil Chicken Breasts

The delicious flavor of basil cooked through the meat of the chicken breast--so simple and yet so tasty!

Ingredients:
4 rib meat chicken breasts
4 small sprigs of fresh Italian Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:
Place basil sprigs in baking dish. Top each sprig with a chicken breast (skin side down). Salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. Remove from oven.

Using a fork, turn each chicken breast over. Bake until chicken meat is tender and golden brown.

Try this same method when cooking steak!

Rosemary sprigs can be substituted for the basil if you prefer.

Prep time Approximately 1 1/2 hours.

Serves 4
