Ingredients
- 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breast
- olive oil
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- 4 ounces goat cheese (sliced into 8 coins)
- 3.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes (coarsely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil (cut in ribbons)
- 4 teaspoons onion (minced)
- 4 cloves garlic (pressed with a garlic press)
- 8 tablespoons butter (separated)
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (approximately the juice of 1 1/2 lemons)
- 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. [Prepare the sauce] 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. [Prepare the sauce] 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. [Assemble the dish] Spoon basil lemon butter sauce with sun-dried tomatoes over the goat cheese, and sprinkle with additional fresh basil.
