  • 1 tablespoon shallots, chopped
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • Preparation

    1. Rinse the chicken breasts under cold running water and pat dry. Use a knife to make a few slight, crosswise cuts in each breast to allow the marinade to penetrate.

    3. Place chicken in marinade and turn until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour.

    4. Remove chicken from refrigerator, discard any excess marinade. Preheat the grill. Lay the chicken breasts flat on the cooking surface. Grill chicken over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked, basting frequently for first 5 minutes. Discard any remaining marinade.

    Stove Method

    1. Cut chicken breasts into bite sizes and apply the same marinade. Use a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray over medium high heat.

    2. Cook chicken for 5 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked. Baste with marinade when chicken is turned.

    Served each chicken breasts topped with slices of lemon.
