How to Make Low Carb Savory Italian Grilled Chicken

  1. Remove the skin from two 6-ounce chicken breasts and season generously with black pepper to taste.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Lightly baste the chicken breasts with the basil mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill grates and baste with the remaining basil sauce.
  5. Add 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary to the hot coals for a smoky aroma (repeat 2-3 times during cooking).
  6. Grill the chicken for 10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting occasionally with the basil sauce.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables or a small serving of cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
