BUTTER GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS

This was a recipe from my old-fashion recipes collection. I redid it to be more diabetic friendly.

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 tsp salt, optional
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
6 (approximately 2 1/2-3 lb) skinless-boneless chicken breasts halves

Melt butter in saucepan. Add olive oil, green onions, salt, and pepper; cook gently for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add the lemon juice. Place chicken in a bowl and cove with the sauce. Let stand, stirring occasionally while charcoal is heating up. When the coals are white-hot, brush the grill with oil and arrange 6-inches from the coals. Place chicken breast halves on grill and brush with the remaining sauce. Grill about 30 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly done. Brush with remaining sauce during grilling. Makes 6 servings.
