Easy Basil Chicken



One of my favorite and easy dishes is marinating & grilling organic chicken thighs. I use a lot of chicken thighs because they are cheap and moist and boneless. 

This basil sauce is super easy and delicious. I like to use my mini blender. I stuff it full of basil leaves, 2 frozen cubes of garlic (equal to two cloves), sea salt, fresh pepper, & enough avocado oil to make it runny. 

When I cook, I use a lot of ratios and not exact measurements. It gets easier with practice but in this case, 2 or 5 leaves aren't going to make a big difference. You are going for flavor here! 

I dump the sauce all over the chicken and let it marinate for 30 minutes, flipping over, & then grill them on med-low till cooked through. My boys like it when I slice them up. 

This sauce is great for a lot of applications such as with tomatoes & mozzarella, on beef, or mixed in cooked pasta or rice. 

Enjoy!
