Lemon-Garlic Grilled Chicken with Basil Aïoli

Basil aïoli—-mayonnaise flavored with garlic and basil--is quick to fix and makes a tasty accompaniment to these garlicky grilled chicken breasts. To turn the chicken into a sandwich, slather it with the aioli and serve it between slices of a good-quality bread.

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 large garlic cloves, minced, divided

1/3 cup grated lemon peel (from about 3 large lemons)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

1. Heat grill. Brush chicken breasts with oil. In small bowl, stir together 3 of the minced garlic cloves, lemon peel and parsley; rub onto both sides of chicken breasts. Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning.

2. Place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals; cover grill. Grill 8 to 10 minutes or until no longer pink in center, turning once.

3. In another small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, basil and remaining 1 minced garlic clove. Serve aïoli with chicken.
