Bryans Chicken - Carrabbas

Sometimes I browse recipezaar and this one just sounded good, apparently its a dish from a restaurant chain Carrabbas which we don't have here... and was rated pretty highly.. so tonight I gave it a shot.

Holy Moley it was amazing... a new favorite for sure, we most definetely enjoyed this treat of a dinner, the mix of flavors is so rich, and we just kept saying WOW.. its that good. Would be perfect for a romantic date night, or just because you have been working out in the yard all day and need something hearty, like we did! :)

Enjoy.

Ingredients:

***Chicken***
6 large chicken breasts
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces goat cheese, softened to room temperature
 
***Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce***
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cup finely sliced sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

 

Directions:

Prepare the Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce: Place butter, garlic, and onion in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until garlic and onion are tender and transparent. Add white wine and lemon juice. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer to reduce by half. Reduce heat to low. Add cold butter one piece at a time. Add sun-dried tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper and stir to blend ingredients. Set aside.

Prepare the Chicken: Reduce charcoal briquettes to white-hot coals. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill chicken over hot coals 15 - 20 minutes or until cooked through. Divide goat cheese evenly between chicken breasts, placing some on each breast for the last two minutes of cooking. Place cooked chicken on serving platter and spoon Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce over chicken.
