Winner Winner Chicken Dinner




This is my FAVORITE dish from Carrabba's. Chicken Bryan...I change it up a bit but its delish!! And surprizing Eric LOVES it too!! It is not one of my more healthy dishes but sometimes we need a break!








A package of boneless skinless chicken breasts
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
olive oil
4 ounces goat cheese
6 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
4 teaspoons onions, minced
4 teaspoons garlic, minced
8 tablespoons butter, divided
6 tablespoons white wine
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon's worth)
Directions:
1 Brush chicken on both sides with olive oil, season to taste with Kosher salt and cracked pepper.
2 Grill chicken until done (internal temp of 165F) - prepare lemon butter sauce while chicken is grilling.
3 Sautee onion and garlic in 2 Tbps butter until soft and fragrant.
4 Add white wine and lemon juice, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes to reduce.
5 Add remaining 6 Tbsp butter, a little at a time, until it melts and mixture is emulsified.
6 Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and basil, heat until hot (but do not overheat or sauce may break).
7 Top nearly-done chicken breasts with 2 oz each of the goat cheese until cheese warms and softens.
8 To serve, spoon lemon butter sauce over chicken breasts.
9 Enjoy! I serve this dish with pasta tossed in butter or olive oil (the delicious lemon butter sauce will perfect it), garlic mashed potatoes and a green salad -- yummmm!
