The basil growing on my balcony was getting weaker so I wanted to use it up.When you don't have any fresh basil at Step 3, use dried basil instead.When you grill the meat, put the toppings on in this order: bread crumbs - olive oil - Parmesan cheese - dried basil.Please feel free to substitute with basil paste, mayonnaise and so on.Try it with lightly flavored breast meat, or rich tasting thigh meat whichever you prefer.
