Bryans Chicken Provencal Recipes

CHICKEN PROVENCAL

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper and put it in the pan. Cook the chicken until browned, turning, about 8 minutes in all. Remove the chicken from the pan. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pan.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and simmer until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, olives, anchovy paste, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks and any accumulated juices. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the breasts and cook until the chicken is just done, about 10 minutes more. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve.

ORIGINAL CARRABBA'S CHICKEN BRYAN (NOT COPYCAT!)

Steps:

• Brush chicken on both sides with olive oil, season to taste with Kosher salt and cracked pepper.
• Grill chicken until done (internal temp of 165F) - prepare lemon butter sauce while chicken is grilling.
• Sautee onion and garlic in 2 Tbps butter until soft and fragrant.
• Add white wine and lemon juice, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes to reduce.
• Add remaining 6 Tbsp butter, a little at a time, until it melts and mixture is emulsified.
• Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and basil, heat until hot (but do not overheat or sauce may break).
• Top nearly-done chicken breasts with 2 oz each of the goat cheese until cheese warms and softens.
• To serve, spoon lemon butter sauce over chicken breasts.
• 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!
