So you overcooked the chicken. What are you going to do, cry?
burned chicken

Actually, that's been my first instinct, more than once. But tears are so unnecessary when you've got basil!

Real Simple offers a vinaigrette recipe that promises to work as a quick fix for dry, burnt-at-the-edges chicken. Just mix up some olive oil and chopped fresh herbs - basil, tarragon, thyme, mint, parsley, you name it - and add salt and pepper to taste. Slice the chicken and arrange the pieces in a fan shape, then spoon the sauce on top. I imagine that tossing the chicken pieces with the vinaigrette and some fresh lettuce for a nice chicken salad would work just as well.

That is one sad looking chicken! But to tell the truth, that would be exactly how I'd want mine. Nothing tastes better on chicken than a bit of carbon.
