- Melt remaining 1 T of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- When it sizzles, lower chicken breast into pan, cover tightly, and reduce heat to low.

- Some of the basil butter will have spilled out of the chicken to create a sauce in the pan.
- Transfer the chicken to a warm platter or individual serving plates and spoon the sauce over the top.
- Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Prepare charcoal or gas grill; heat should be medium-high and rack about 6 inches from fire; keep part of grill cool for indirect cooking. In a small bowl, use a spoon or fork to combine butter and herbs, or use a mini food processor.
- With sharp-bladed knife, cut a 2- to 3-inch slit in deepest part of chicken. Fill with as much herb butter as possible; rub some under skin as well. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and brush with oil.
- When grill is ready, put chicken skin-side up on cool side of grill. After some fat has been rendered, turn chicken; if it flares up, move to an even cooler part of fire or turn so skin side is up again. When skin has lost its raw look and most of the fat has been rendered, after 20 minutes or so, move chicken directly over fire. Cook, turning now and then, until both sides are browned and flesh is firm and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.

- Put the flour, eggs and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Lightly flour the chicken breasts, shaking off any excess, then dip them in the eggs and coat with the bread crumbs.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil.
