Wanna Be Greek Grilled Chicken Breasts - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
    1 cup buttermilk
    1/2 lemon, juice of
    2 tablespoons liquid honey
    2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
    1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
    1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
    Add a small amount of buttermilk to the honey and whisk until smooth, then add the remaining marinade ingredients. Whisk to combine.
    Place chicken breasts in a zipper bag, pour marinade over and seal, turning to coat.
    Refrigerate 4-8 hours, turning occasionally. A longer marinating time will yield a more tender and flavourful result.
    Grill on medium setting until no longer pink.
    Note: You don't need a pool of marinade around the chicken but if it seems scant add bit more buttermilk.
    If you like a fuller lemon flavour use the juice of a whole lemon. I've also left out the lemon totally when I didn't have one, still a great taste.
    Cooking time is approximate, it depends on which method you use. You could also cut up the chicken and skewer -- reduce marinade and cook times.
