Goat Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken image

This spinach-stuffed chicken breast recipe is special to me because it has so much flavor, yet not too many calories. I love Italian food, but most of the time it is too heavy. This is a healthy twist on an Italian dish! -Nicole Stevens, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

ORIGINAL CARRABBA'S CHICKEN BRYAN (NOT COPYCAT!)



Original Carrabba's Chicken Bryan (Not Copycat!) image

My hometown newspaper (The Orlando Sentinel) finally published this, my favorite chicken dish ever, in their "Thought you'd never ask" column. There are copycats on Zaar, but this is the actual recipe, as given by Carrabba's. Not for the dieter, but a divine dish perfect for company and easy to throw together!

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
olive oil
4 ounces goat cheese
6 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 -4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
4 teaspoons onions, minced
4 teaspoons garlic, minced
8 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 cup white wine
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Chicken with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple, everyday ingredients that can be easily found at your local grocery store. This dish is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal that is also delicious and nutritious, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
