- I found this versatile recipe at HerbNET:
- Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Gently lift up skin of each and rub each with a clove of chopped garlic and 2 tsp. minced chives. Stuff about 2 Tbsp. of the fresh herbs beneath skin of each breast. Set aside. Mix herb vinegar or possibly wine with mustard, honey, crushed red pepper, and any herbs which did not fit into chicken, and whisk in the extra virgin olive oil. Marinate chicken in this mix for 2 hrs or possibly more, turning occasionally. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika, and grill over warm coals or possibly under broiler (about 6 inches from flame), skinside down, for approximately 7-8 min. Turn skin-side up and cook another 6-8 min, basting occasionally with marinade. Don't burn!
