“Chicken Bryan” — Carrabba’s Copycat
Since the Olive Garden Chicken Crostina recipe has been such a big hit, I’ve decided to start a new series, where I try to give you a simplified copy of your favorite restaurant dishes! This week goes out to my friend Sarah — Chicken Bryan. This can be your weekend challenge recipe! Grab the ingredients, and wow your friends and family! Serve with salad, bread, a bottle of pinot grigio (or your favorite white wine), and you’re set for dinner IN!
“Chicken Bryan”
2 T olive oil
1 T finely chopped onion
1 T chopped garlic
1/2 C white wine
1/3 C lemon juice
1 stick butter
1 jar sundried tomatoes
Basil
Salt
Black pepper
6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz. goat cheese crumbles
Heat 2 T olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic & onion and saute until soft. Add wine and lemon juice to skillet and simmer until mixture thickens. Add stick of butter, allow to melt.
Add sundried tomatoes, 1 T basil (dried or 2 T fresh), 1/2 t salt, 1/2 t pepper and remove and allow to heat for about 1 minute. Turn heat to low to keep warm.
Grill chicken as you learned yesterday, taking care not to char. Remove chicken breasts to individual plates and cover first with goat cheese crumbles. Smother with sundried tomato sauce.

I’m so excited about this! This is truly my favorite dish in any Italian restaurant. It’s my staple.

Had Chicken Bryan at Carrabba’s for the first time last night. Wow, it was delicious. The combination of goat cheese and sundried tomatoes with the perfectly grilled chicken was the best. Can’t wait to try it at home with your recipe.
