4 chicken breasts with skin
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup sage pesto
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon zested lemon rind
4 fresh sprigs of rosemary

Combine chives, thyme, sage pesto, mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, and lemon rind into a bowl, and stir well.

Place the chicken in a shallow dish or in a large Ziplock bag and spread 1/2 cup pesto mixture over both sides of chicken. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours.

Preheat grill to medium high heat. Place chicken breast halves, bone side up, on the cleaned and oiled grill rack and grill for 40 minutes turning chicken occasionally, placing the rosemary sprigs on top of the skin the final 10 minutes of cooking and also basting occasionally with remaining sage pesto mixture. Test with meat thermometer to determine if done, looking for 165 degrees.
