• 4  boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1  egg, beaten

4. In a shallow dish or pan, combine basil, oregano, pepper, salt, and grated cheese.
5. Brush chicken with the lemon juice, then dip both sides in the beaten egg.
6. Next, coat chicken with the cornmeal mixture.
7. Let chicken sit on a wire rack for 20-30 minutes.
8. Spray George Foreman two sided grill with nonstick cooking spray.
9. Cook chicken for 4-7 minutes until thoroughly cooked, brown and crisp.
