Carrabba's Chicken Gratella is an iconic dish that embodies the essence of Italian cuisine, tantalizing taste buds with its symphony of flavors.

CARRABBA'S CHICKEN MARSALA
I searched for this recipe on-line. I found a link to it from a Knoxsville, TN news station that Carrabba's Italian Grill was the presenter for chicken marsala. It includes the spices for the chicken before grilling. WBIR.com-recipes. Update: I always use 8 oz. fresh mushrooms and add them while sauteeing the shallots, so changed the recipe to my way of making it. Also can add more cornstarch for a thicker sauce, but start with the stated amount and add more to liking.

Steps:
- Melt butter over low heat in a medium saucepan. Turn heat up to medium high to sauté the prosciutto in the melted butter for about 2 to 3 minutes; be careful not to burn butter, add shallots and mushrooms and sauté for about until vegetables are tender then add the garlic and saute another 30 seconds. Add marsala wine, simmer for another 30 seconds or so, then add black pepper. Simmer over medium high heat for 5 minutes.
- Dissolve corn starch in chicken stock. Add stock to saucepan and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Add parsley and cream to the sauce and simmer 3 to 4 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat, cover until needed.
- Preheat barbecue grill on high heat. Combine ingredients for the chicken spice in a small bowl. Use your thumb and fingers to crush the spices in the bowl to make a finer blend.
- Brush each chicken breast generously with olive oil. Sprinkle spice blend over both sides of chicken breast and grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side or until done. Give chicken a one quarter turn on each side while cooking to make the criss cross grill marks.
- Serve entree by arranging each chicken breast on a plate. Spoon one quarter of the marsala sauce over each serving of chicken and serve. Serves 4.

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!
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the chicken until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
- To make a flavorful marinade, use a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- To get a crispy crust on the chicken, cook it over medium-high heat until the skin is golden brown.
- To prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the chicken. You can also spray the pan with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil.
- To make a creamy sauce, use a mixture of heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and white wine. Simmer the sauce until it is thickened.
- To serve, top the chicken with the creamy sauce and garnish with fresh herbs.

Carrabba's Chicken Gratella is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
