Basil grilled Chicken

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 tbsp fresh minced basil
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
14 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp coarsely ground pepper
4 chicken breast halves, skinned
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil

Combine first 6 ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides. Place butter mixture in a small serving bowl, cover and chill.
Press coarsely ground pepper evenly into meaty sides of chicken breast halves. Combine 1/3 cup melted butter and 2 tbsp chopped basil and lightly brush on chicken. Grill, covered over medium hot coals (or medium on gas grill) for 15 minutes on each side or until chicken is done, basting frequently with remaining melted butter mixture.
