Here's a recipe which I thought up in an attempt to ensure that the monstrous foliage of Basil doesn't kill me in my sleep.

Grilled chicken breast with garlic, basil
- 2 chicken breasts
- Few sprig of basil (3-4)
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- a bit of butter
- some olive oil
- lemon of lime juice
- salt
-black pepper

Garnish - cheddar cheese
- roasted pine nuts


preheat oven to 200 C

take two nice chicken breasts, wash and trim off the yucky bloody bits. make a slit in the middle lengthways but don't half it.(like a croissant)

then, rub with salt and pepper and lemon or lime juice and leave to marinate.

meanwhile,

take a few sprigs of basil (use more if your plant is threatening to suffocate you! like mine).
take 2-3 cloves of garlic (eh don't forget to peel first).
piece of butter about enough for 2 pieces of kaya toast (15-20g)
enough olive oil to make it into a paste

and dump in the chopper machine.

then, pour away the excess lime/lemon juice from the chicken breast/s
whack the green basil/garlic goo on to the chicken. make sure it's coated all over and stuff some into the lengthways slit (more the better)

put onto the oven grill rack thing. remember to put foil or something below so the oil doesn't have too much fun in the oven.

grill each side for about 10 minutes until it looks cooked and you can be sure you won't die.

take out.

put on plate.

grate cheddar cheese over it.

sprinkle roasted pine nuts

put in mouth, chew and swallow.

mmmmm.

drink some water. don't choke
