Food Network Backsplash Griddle

This chicken dish is best made using a flat top griddle. I use one from Food Network called a backsplash griddle. I put the griddle right on the BBQ and it turns out awesome and keeps the mess out of the kitchen. You wouldn't want to grill this dish because the heat and flame would burn the

basil.

Heat you flat top grill pan to medium heat. There's already olive oil on the chicken so you don't need any more. Cook the chicken on each side for about 5 minutes. Check the doneness using a thermometer and if your at 160 degrees, you're done. When your done cooking place the chicken on a plate and let rest 5 minutes.

You can serve this dish with any number of sides such as:

Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

White Pepper Grits and Cheddar Cheese
