1
Put all the ingredient (except basil pesto) into a large bowl and whisk them well to get blended mixture. Throw the chicken breasts with mixture into a resealable plastic bag, and massage them to be evenly coated. Store in refrigerator for at least 2 hours up to one night.
2
Create a two-zone fire and prepare the grill for a medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate before making sure there is no residue on it, in which case the meat gets easily stuck.
3
Remove chicken breasts from the marinade after resting 30 minutes in a room temperature. Grill them on the direct fire for 2-3 minutes, creating beautiful sear marks for each side; then move the meat to the indirect cooking area for another 5 minutes each, until their internal temperature hits 160 degrees.
4
Transfer the chicken to serving plates; tent the breasts with foil and let them rest for 10 minutes before drizzling with the basil sauce and serve.
NotePad
To avoid overcooking the chicken breast at one side while under-cooking it at another, try to beat the meat even with a meat hammer before marinating.
Two-zone fire is necessary to prevent chicken breasts going too dry after cooked done.
