Shiso (Basil) & Lemon Rolled Chicken

I often use Basil instead of Shiso because Shiso is difficult to find in Australia. Sweet Basil is so popular and available from every grocery store or supermarket. Perilla, which is very similar to Shiso, can be found at Asian Groceries. If you are lucky to have Shiso, try Shiso version that tastes great.
