Basil quick question

How much dried basil would you use to substitute for 1/4 cup chopped
fresh. This is for a baked chicken breast recipe and also calls for
yogurt, which I don't have on had right now, so will use light mayo
instead....Thanks Sharon

Usual ratio is 1/3 the volume of fresh. 1/4 cup is 2 ounces is 4
tablespoons, so 1 1/3 tablespoon should do it.
