Description
A comforting and gourmet Chicken Bryan recipe topped with goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and a zesty lemon-basil butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small yellow onion, minced
- 6 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 3 ounces goat cheese (or cream cheese)
- Salt, pepper, and parsley to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 6–8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 6 tablespoons butter (for sauce)
Instructions
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, simmer lemon juice on medium heat for about 10 minutes to reduce it.
- Add butter to the lemon juice, stirring until melted. Add half of the chopped basil and keep it warm.
- Heat a skillet and melt 2 tablespoons of butter; sauté garlic and onion until translucent (3-5 minutes).
- Move onions to the side and add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 8 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Top each chicken breast with goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and the lemon-basil butter sauce.
- Garnish with remaining basil and serve warm.
Notes
Marinate the chicken overnight for even deeper flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
