Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup finely diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • ½ cup julienned sundried tomatoes (not oil packed)
  • ¾ cup white wine, or cooking wine (I used Sauvignon Blanc)
  • ⅓ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 6-8 tablespoons cold butter
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves divided
Directions
  1. Heat grill or stove. Trim fat off chicken breasts. Generously salt and pepper each side of the chicken breasts. Set aside.
  2. Shape goat cheese into ½ ounce circular discs about 1½ inches in diameter. You should be able to make 8 discs out of the 4 oz. (2 for each chicken breast)
  3. Prepare for sauce by chopping onion, garlic and basil. Squeeze lemon juice and make sure you can open your wine. Haha!
  4. Place chicken on grill or sauté pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in center. For a properly sautéed chicken breast follow the instructions here, omitting the making the sauce part.
  5. While chicken is cooking begin making sauce by heating olive oil over medium high heat. Add onions and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until translucent. Add in garlic and sundried tomatoes. Cook 2 minutes more.
  6. Pour in wine, lemon juice and broth. Add salt and pepper. Stir until bubbly. Reduce liquid by half as you are stirring, 3-5 minutes.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Add one tablespoon chilled butter at a time to sauce. Stir butter until completely melted before adding next tablespoon. You can add anywhere from 6-8 tablespoons depending on your taste. Add more broth if sauce is too thick. Stir in fresh basil.
  8. Warm oven to 200 degrees. Arrange chicken breasts on a platter. Place two discs of goat cheese on top of each breast. Allow cheese to warm through. Spread sauce over all chicken breasts and serve warm.
