CARRABBA'S CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan. Rinse the chicken pieces in water. Dredge them thoroughly in the flour mixture, until well coated. Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add half of the chicken pieces, do not crowd the pan. Brown well on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and reserve to a plate. Cook the other breasts in the same manner, remove from pan. Cover with aluminum foil and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce. Add the champagne and mushrooms to the pan. Use a spatula to scrape up the browned bits. Reduce the sauce by half. Whisk in cream, kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and tarragon. Heat until sauce thickens to a creamy consistency. Serve chicken and sauce over angel hair pasta.

ORIGINAL CARRABBA'S CHICKEN BRYAN (NOT COPYCAT!)

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!
