Chicken Bryan Copycat (Carrabba's Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken)

Ingredients

  1. 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breast
  2. olive oil
  3. Salt & pepper (to taste)
  4. 4 ounces goat cheese (sliced into 8 coins)
  5. 3.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes (coarsely chopped)
  6. 3 tablespoons fresh basil (cut in ribbons)
  7. 4 teaspoons onion (minced)
  8. 4 cloves garlic (pressed with a garlic press)
  9. 8 tablespoons butter (separated)
  10. 1/4 cup white wine
  11. 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (approximately the juice of 1 1/2 lemons)
  12. 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each chicken breast with olive oil and season with a bit of salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Cook the chicken, 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until the internal temperature is 165º.

  2. Prepare the sauce

    In a medium sauce pot over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons butter until soft and fragrant. Be careful not to overcook or the garlic will turn bitter. Add white wine and lemon juice. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Add heavy cream and remaining 6 tablespoons butter a little at a time until the butter melts and the mixture is emulsified. Whisk as needed.
  4. Add sun-dried tomatoes and basil and heat until just hot. If you overcook the sauce, it will break. Remove sauce from the heat and set aside until chicken is finished.

  5. Assemble the dish

    Just before serving, slice thick coins of goat cheese and lay on top of each chicken breast. Warm until the cheese is the consistency of sour cream.
  6. Spoon basil lemon butter sauce with sun-dried tomatoes over the goat cheese, and sprinkle with additional fresh basil.
