How to cook Italian Sauteed Rosemary Basil Chicken
- Place sliced chicken breasts in a zip lock bag, add the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, basil, and parsley.
- Marinate overnight or at least 3 hours. Pour out the lemon juice as best as you can before sauteing the chicken.
- In a large fry pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Add the garlic, chicken, and rosemary.
- Saute chicken on both sides until nicely browned around 5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. The chicken's internal temperature must reach 165 degrees to ensure doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy.
- Add the fresh basil and toss. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Drizzle with the rest of the olive oil and seasonings you like.
- Perfect to top a garden salad, chicken salad, or as your entree with a side of vegetables.
- Note: if using salad dressing pour over 4 boneless chicken breasts and place in a ziplock bag overnight. Pour most of the marinade out and cook with one of the below methods. Chicken can be grilled for around 6 minutes on each side, baked at 400 degrees around 1 hour flipping every half hour, sauteed or slow-cooked on low 8 hours.

I'm sure marinating the chicken overnight not only gives it great flavor but also helps to tenderize it. Delicious.
