How to cook Italian Sauteed Rosemary Basil Chicken

1. Place sliced chicken breasts in a zip lock bag, add the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, basil, and parsley. 
2. Marinate overnight or at least 3 hours. Pour out the lemon juice as best as you can before sauteing the chicken.
3. In a large fry pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Add the garlic, chicken, and rosemary. 
4. Saute chicken on both sides until nicely browned around 5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. The chicken's internal temperature must reach 165 degrees to ensure doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy.
5. Add the fresh basil and toss. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Drizzle with the rest of the olive oil and seasonings you like. 
6. Perfect to top a garden salad, chicken salad, or as your entree with a side of vegetables.
7. Note: if using salad dressing pour over 4 boneless chicken breasts and place in a ziplock bag overnight. Pour most of the marinade out and cook with one of the below methods. Chicken can be grilled for around 6 minutes on each side, baked at 400 degrees around 1 hour flipping every half hour, sauteed or slow-cooked on low 8 hours.
