Updated August 21, 2016: I made this yet again last night and wanted to add a helpful tip. Marinate the chicken in rosemary, garlic and onion powder, lemon juice, white wine, and melted butter. Then grill it. Also we prefer this with about half the sundried tomatoes and twice the goat cheese. ;-) Originally reviewed May 21, 2008: I added about 1 cup of sliced baby portabella mushrooms and used feta cheese instead of soft goat cheese (it was all I had at the time). My husband and I thought it was phenomenal! I also served this with a generous portion of steamed broccoli. Yummy!

Instead of cooking the chicken separately, I just let it poach in the sauce with the lid on. I turned the chicken a few times, and added some additional white wine and lemon juice when it needed some more liquid. After about 25 minutes of simmering it was perfect. Then I added the goat cheese and some more fresh basil. It was fantastic and I'll make this again. I also used dehydrated minced onion instead of chopping a fresh onion for just 1 tablespoon, and it worked fine.

Wow this was fantastic. We don't have Carrabba's where I live so I don't know how close it is to the original but it was definitely a hit in our house. I followed the suggestion of Chef #453209 and used chicken broth in place of the 2/3 cup of cold butter and added a tablespoon at the end. It was great. I also halved the recipe quite successfully. This will definitely be made again. Thanks for posting a great recipe!

I love to cook, but don't have a lot of time to do it, since I work full time. I like to try a new recipe every Saturday, if time allows.
