Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken and Marinade
- 4 boneless (skinless chicken breasts {about 1 1/2 pounds})
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
For the Toppings and Sauce
- 3/4 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes in oil (sliced)
- 4 ounces goat cheese {crumbled or a log will work}
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons oil from the sun-dried tomato jar
- 1/4 cup fresh basil (sliced)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large ziplock combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper and then add the chicken breasts. Seal the bag and use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: After marinating the chicken preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush oil over grate to prevent sticking, and place chicken on the grill. Grill the chicken breasts, brushing the leftover marinade over the chicken breasts.You need to reach an internal temperature on 165 degrees F. (74 degrees C.) {takes about 6 or 7 minutes per side but varies on the sizes of the chicken}. Check all the pieces of chicken to be certain that they are cooked.
- Make the Sauce Base: While the chicken is grilling heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter and melt whisking continuously. Add in the garlic, Italian seasoning, sun-dried tomato oil and basil. Continue to cook for 2 minutes.
- Add Lemon Juice: Slowly add in the lemon juice and whisk to combine.
- Thicken the Sauce: Add in the cream and continue to slowly whisk for 3-4 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Rest the Chicken: Once the chicken is done remove from the grill and cover and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
- Serve: When you are ready to serve the chicken add the chicken to a dish and top each chicken breast with a 1/4 of the goat cheese, 1/4 of the sun-dried tomatoes and basil and continue for each of the chicken breast. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the chicken breasts and serve warm.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Goat cheese can be used crumbled or in a log form to top the chicken.
- Brush leftover marinade on chicken while grilling to enhance flavor.
- Resting the chicken after grilling allows juices to redistribute for better tenderness.
