Basil Chicken
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. Recipe by Kaz0731

Cooking Instructions
- 1
The chicken in the photo is breast from a young bird. When I weighed it it was a bit more than 360 g. I used 2 breasts - 1 breast per serving.
- 2
Make the basil, cherry tomatoes and black pepper ready.
- 3
Cut the chicken breasts or thighs into 2 pieces. Pound them out so that they are about the same thickness and cut a pocket in the middle of each piece. Rub in the ingredients marked ☆ - salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil. Leave to rest and marinate a bit.
- 4
While the meat is marinating, cut the cherry tomatoes.
- 5
Insert the basil leaves inside the pockets you made in the chicken pieces.
- 6
Fry the chicken pieces in a frying pan until one side is browned, then flip over and cook the pieces through.
- 7
When the chicken is cooked add the tomatoes, and coat the chicken pieces with the juice that comes out of them. Transfer the chicken and tomatoes to serving plates.
- 8
Reduce the remaining tomato and chicken juice in the pan and pour over the dish to finish.

Since I made plenty of basil pesto, I tried cooking chicken with it.When you are using a non-stick frying pan, please pan-fry the chicken without oil since a lot of fat comes out from it.Basil pesto contains olive oil, so I think it's better to use the least amount of oil as possible.

Stir-fried Chicken with Basil Stir-fried Chicken with Basil
I like Thai food and make it often for lunch.I usually make this dish with everyday ingredients.1: If you finely chop the garlic, add it at the start. If you use grated garlic, add it at the end after turning the heat off.2: Basil leaves turn black when heated, so add it at the end after turning the heat off.3: If you like fish sauce, I recommend seasoning with just nam pla and oyster sauce.
