Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3/4 oz fresh basil
- 3 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 zucchini
Method
Mash the softened butter with the minced garlic, chopped basil, and a squeeze of lemon. Set aside.
Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two thin cutlets. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high until it smokes faintly. Cook the cutlets 4 minutes per side without moving them, until firm and well marked.
Slice the zucchini into planks, oil lightly, and grill 2 minutes per side while the chicken rests.
Top each cutlet with a spoonful of basil butter and let it melt for a minute before serving with the zucchini.
