Grilled Chicken with Edamame Skordalia

From Bon Appetit

16 oz edamame 
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil 
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for brushing 
3 garlic cloves, peeled 
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese 
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
3 chicken breast halves

Cook edamame in boiling salted water until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid for skordalia.  Shell the edamame.

Meanwhile, combine basil, 1/3 cup oil, and garlic in processor; blend until basil and garlic are finely chopped. Transfer 2 tablespoons basil oil to small bowl and reserve. 

Add edamame, 1/2 cup reserved cooking liquid, Parmesan, and lemon juice to remaining basil oil in processor; puree until mixture is almost smooth, adding more cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if mixture is dry. Season generously with salt and pepper. Set skordalia aside. 

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill with oil. Brush chicken breasts on both sides with reserved basil oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until chicken is just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Slice chicken breasts crosswise.
