Chicken Bryan à la Carrabba's

I should probably start this with a disclaimer - I've never actually eaten at Carrabba's. However, I saw the recipe for Chicken Bryan à la Carrabba's on the Orlando Sentinel, and thought it sounded amazing. The first time that I made it, it wasn't that good. But with the changes that I made, it was amazing! It's basically a cooked chicken breast topped with goat cheese and a sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, butter, garlic, onions, lemon juice, and white wine.

Ingredients 

I used the following ingredients for Chicken Bryan à la Carrabba's: Chicken breasts, salt, freshly ground black pepper, butter, goat cheese, onion, garlic, lemon juice, white wine, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil.

Making Chicken Bryan à la Carrabba's

The first step was making the lemon/butter sauce. I started by cooking the onion and garlic in melted butter in a small sauce pan set over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Then I added the wine and lemon juice, and cooked the mixture over medium low heat for about 10 minutes, until it reduced somewhat.

I removed the pan from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Then I added the butter, a piece at a time, and whisked the mixture until the butter melted and the sauce emulsified.

Finally I added the chopped and drained sun-dried tomatoes and basil, gave the mixture a stir, and set it aside while I cooked the chicken.

Now it was time to cook the chicken. The recipe that I was using as a guide called for grilling the chicken. Since it was hot and rainy outside, I decided to cook the chicken in a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Before adding the chicken to the skillet, I sprinkled a little bit of salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. I cooked the chicken for about 5 minutes on one side, and then cooked it on the other side for another 5 minutes or so, until the juices ran clear.

Next I topped each of the chicken breasts with some goat cheese and let the chicken cook a bit longer, to melt the goat cheese. I transferred the chicken to a plate, topped it with the lemon/butter sauce, and served it with some steamed fresh broccoli, a baked potato, and a freshly made baguette. Yum!
