    Cuisine:

    This is one of my signature recipes, made up one summer when I had an abundance of mint, including English Mint, Orange Mint, Ginger Mint, etc. Its at its best on the Barbeque. I'm often asked for the marinade recipe, and people are always amazed that the main herb is MINT! In my opinion, it is most underused in North America in main dishes.... Any way.... here it is

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Put the Mint, Garlic, Parsley and Pepper in a Food Processor and Coarsly Chop.

    2
    Done

    Add the Olive Oil and Wine (or Apple Juice)

    3
    Done

    Blend Again. If You Are Using Dried Hot Red Pepper Flakes, Add It Now, No Need to Chop It Further.

    4
    Done

    Place Chicken Breasts and Marinade Into a Zippered Plastic Bag, Shake It About, and Allow to Marinate at Least 3 Hours Up to Overnight.

    5
    Done

    About 1/2 an Hour Prior to Cooking, Add 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice. (adding the Lemon Juice Sooner, Will Add Too Much Lemon Flavor, and It Will Tend to "cook" Portions of the Chicken).

    6
    Done

    Start Cooking on Medium on the Bbq, and Reduce to Low. You Absolutely Don't Want It to Dry Out. Times Will Vary Depending on Your Bbq and the Thickness of the Breast. use One of Those Bbq Saute Pans With the Holes in It, and It Works Better Than Directly on the Grill. Feel Free to Pour the Extra Marinade Over the Breasts as They Cook.

    7
    Done

    I Most Often Serve This With a Wild Rice and Orzo Pilaf, and Fresh Vegetables (such as Asparagus or Snow Peas or Sauteed Yellow Zucchini With Red Peppers, Red Onions and Grape Tomatoes, With a Bit of That Mint Added at the End).
