2 small chicken breasts, trimmed of fat 3-4 semi dried tomatoes
small bunch of basil small bunch of oregano

Directions

  1. Place semi dried tomatoes, basil, & oregano in blender (or mortar& pestle if you don’t have a blender) & blend/crush until a smooth paste. If too thick add a small amount of water, or white wine, to thin.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a non metal bowl, or plate & cover with tomato/basil mix. Allow to marinate for at least 4 hours. Overnight is better.
  3. Heat grill, or BBQ, & grill breasts over medium heat until cooked.
  4. Cooking can be done in a frying pan, but the marinade tends to burn. Can also be done in the oven on a baking dish with a rack. If done in the oven cook for approximately 35-40 minutes at 350°F.
