Chicken Bryan

If you've ever been to Carraba's then hopefully you have tried one of their best dishes: Chicken Bryan. It is grilled chicken topped with goat cheese and a lemon basil cream sauce. My husband looooooves this dish so I was set on trying to duplicate it with my own flair. I found a copycat recipe online then just went with what I had and improvised for my tastebuds.

Picture doesn't do it justice.

It was sooooo delicious. I'll definitely be making this on a more regular basis.

I didn't do any measuring but here's what the recipe was pretty close to:


2 Chicken breasts
salt and pepper

Feta cheese (I bought sundried tomato/basil flavored)
1 tsp garlic salt
1 TbspLemon juice
1 tsp dried herbs or 1 tbsp of fresh - Basil would be best but I used Herbs de provence
1/2 onion diced
1/4 C sundried tomatoes chopped
1/2 C milk mixed with 1 tbs of cornstarch
2 tbs Sour cream or plain yogurt
2 Tbs parmesan
1 tbs butter
1 tbs olive oil

Instructions: Pat chicken breasts dry then cut a pocket in the middle and stuff with feta cheese. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Bring  a pan to medium-high heat and melt 1 Tbsp of butter. Sear both sides of chicken breasts but do not cook all the way through. Once chicken is done take them out of the pan and make the sauce in the same pan.
Add your olive oil and onions. Saute onions until translucent. Add seasonings, garlic, sundried tomatoes and lemon juice. Cook for one minute then add your milk/cornstarch mixture and the plain yogurt. I added the parmesan at this point and if the sauce gets too thick add a little bit more water or milk. Top chicken with a bit more feta then pour sauce over top! Bon appetit

Serve with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Yum.
