Categories     Main Dish

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 ½ teaspoons Carrabba's Grill Seasoning
4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 ounces goat cheese (cut into eight ¼-inch rounds)
4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (cut into ¼-inch strips)
1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup yellow onion (peeled & diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley (finely chopped)
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
2 tablespoons yellow onion (peeled & diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/3 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt & pepper (to taste)

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.
