COPYCAT CARRABBA'S CHICKEN BRYAN

Steps:

• Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over onions and garlic and stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
• Whisk in the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the parsley and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Be sure to whisk before you use, as the baste will start to separate.
• Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter melts, add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil over high heat. Continue to cook until the liquid is reduced to about ¼ cup, about 3-5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low. Add 3 tablespoons of butter at a time - whisking the butter until it is completely melted before adding another 3 tablespoons. (This will make sure it emulsifies into the sauce.) Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
• Keep sauce warm over low heat, stirring often, while preparing the recipe of this recipe. (Use immediately or store the sauce for up to 2 hours at room temperature.)
• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• Cut each chicken breast into halves (like a book), making 8 thin-cut chicken breast pieces. Season chicken all over with the grill seasoning.
• Then right before you lay the chicken on the grill, brush the chicken breasts with 3 tablespoons of the grill baste. Add the chicken to the hot grill, close the lid, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is browned, firm to the touch, and cooked through (with an internal temperature of 165 degrees F).
• During the last minute of cooking, top each chicken breast with one round of goat cheese. Close the grill lid and let the cheese melt/soften.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter. Top with sun-dried tomatoes and basil, and drizzle with as much lemon butter sauce over the top as you like. Place 2 pieces of chicken on a plate along with some pasta. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Prepare chicken by wrapping in plastic wrap, and pounding out until thin. Remove chicken from plastic wrap and pat dry with a paper towel. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and brush with olive oil. Cook chicken on grill until it is done. About 3 to 4 minutes on each side. When chicken is done place on on plate and cover with plastic wrap, set aside. Slice goat cheese into four slices and shape the goat cheese into discs, one for each piece of chicken.
• Prepare the sauce by sauteing the onions and garlic in 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook garlic and onions until they are fragrant and the onions are translucent. Add wine and lemon juice to pan, and cook wine until it has reduced to half by simmering the wine gently. When the wine has been reduced by half, add 3 tbsp of cold butter, whisk until the butter has melted completely. Turn off burner, and add remaining butter, whisk in. The sauce should be getting thick now. Now pour the sauce through a strainer, strain off the onions and garlic. Return to warm pan, and stir in half the basil, and sun dried tomatoes. Place chicken in pan, with goat cheese on top and simmer to melt the cheese and incorporate the sauce.
• Place chicken on platter. Spoon sauce over chicken. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli.
