Preparation:

During the last 15 minutes that the chicken cooks, cut 6 baby eggplants into diagonal slices and put them on the grill. Baste them with the herb marinade used for the chicken. Combine first 9 ingredients in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag. Add chicken to bag; seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove chicken from bag, reserving marinade. Coat grill rack with cooking spray, and place rack on grill over medium-hot coals. Place chicken, bone side up, on rack, and cook for 50 minutes or until chicken is done, turning and basting with reserved marinade every 15 minutes. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and 2-1/2 tablespoons Tomato-Basil Pesto).
