For the White Balsamic Vinaigrette:
1/4 cup basil leaves
3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp chopped shallots
1 tbsp water

pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Combine the marinade ingredients - lemon juice, oregano, garlic puree, salt and black pepper and pour over chicken, let it marinade in the refrigerator a minimum of two hours, but preferably 4-6 hours or longer.
Place all the vinaigrette ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Set aside.
Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high, make sure your grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
When the grill is hot, lay the chicken on the grill.
