Original Carrabba's Chicken Bryan (Not Copycat!)

Reviews

• "IMPORTANT NOTE!!! Although this recipe seemed very close to the original dish, I BELIEVE THAT THE SUBMITTER SWITCHED THE MEASUREMENTS FOR THE LEMON JUICE AND THE WHITE WINE!!! 1/2 LEMON JUICE IS WAAAAAAAAY TOO MUCH! VERY SOUR. I THINK IT SHOULD BE 6 TBS LEMON JUICE (WHICH IS ABOUT 1 LEMON'S WORTH) AND 1/2 CUP WHITE WINE. If this change is made, I'm sure it would be delicious!"

• "This is an excellent recipe, but I read the reviews ahead of time to notice that it is better to add 1/2 cup wine and only 6 tbs lemon. I didn't measure the lemon juice, I just used one lemon. I also made 8 servings with only 4 oz goat cheese. I bought hand-trimmed thin chicken cutlets from Wegman's and was able to use the same recipe for 2 servings. The goat cheese came in a 4 oz log, so it was easy to slice a 1/2 ounce of cheese on each breast. I placed 2 spoonfuls of sauce on each breast and it was DELICIOUS! See my pictures!"

• "Following other reviews, I substituted chicken broth for most of the butter and then used a little cornstarch slurry to slightly thicken the sauce at the end. We enjoyed this very much and will make it again."

• "I did not click the STARS to indicate my rating! Most disturbing blunder on my part....<br/>I score this receipe 5 stars with the notation to watch the lemon vs. wine amounts added!<br/>al.quintain"

• "READ THIS BEFORE PREPARING THIS DISH!!! This recipe definitely has way too much lemon. I too believe the person submitting transcribed the lemon and chicken broth. I would even go so much as saying 6 Tbs. is pushing it. We just finished our dinner, and to my Great disappointment, the lemon was so strong, we could not finish our dinner. What an extreme disappoint. Lesson learned, Always read the reviews!"

• "I did not add the butter at all and used 1 lemon worth of juice (not 1/2 cup) The sun dried tomato, lemon and goat cheese really made the dish"pop". This was easy enough for a weeknight but seems more like dinner for a special night"

• "This was OK. I used 4 TB of lemon juice and I feel that the 4 oz of goat cheese was way too much for the serving amount. In all fairness, it was my first time trying goat cheese and it was a bit too tangy for me. Hubby loved this dish though."

• "Wow, this was so tasty! I switched the measurements for wine and lemon juice as suggested by others. I followed the recipe as best I could (for example, its snowing outside so I pan fried and then broiled the chicken instead of grilling). I would not say it tasted exactly like my favorite dish at Carrabas, but it actually tasted better some how! I would also caution that 4 tablespoons of basil is a bit too much, better to go with 2. I was looking forward to the leftovers but there weren't any!"

• "Awesome dish! I made sure to switch the measurements for lemon juice and wine, which worked out perfectly. I juiced one lemon without measuring and it was plenty. I also used Lucky Duck Savignon Blanc for the wine. I'm not super knowledgeable about wine so I didn't quite know what kind of white wine I should be buying. I may try something different next time. All together the sauce was spot on, making this a much cheaper alternative to my favorite dish...of course the chicken can't compare since I don't have a wood fired grill. But still great!"

• "We loved this recipe! Loved it. My husband and kids are really picky eaters and I was amazed when they all wanted more. They even hate tomatoes and goats cheese and this was a great way to sneak them in. It's an extremely easy recipe and I had everything I needed in the pantry.
  The only reason I didn't give it five stars was the lemon juice amount, luckily I looked at the reviews before making this dish. I doubled the recipe and kept the lemon juice at 6 Tbls and it was fine."

• "The Lemon Juice measurement is way off. I had doubled the recipe and it called for 1 cup of lemon juice. We could not even eat the dish! Horrible recipe, I will pull from a much more credible place next time. Although the measurements have been tweaked in reviews, reviews are not recipes! Whom ever posted this recipe should be embarrassed to call themselves a cook!
  What a waste!"

• "I will definitely make this again. The only substitutions I made were I used coconut oil instead of butter and as previous poster commented about the lemon juice/white wine, I switched those measurements. It turned out great. A new favorite."

• "I first have to say Chicken Bryan is one of our favorite dishes to eat out. It is so flavorful and melt in your mouth, and is great to be able to duplicate at home! There are several copycat recipes for this with slightly different variations but I decided to use this recipe since it seemed to have two servings and the sauce ratios seemed right. It sure lives up to being a close copycat! It is just a little more lemony than the restaurants, but that can easily be fixed with adding a little less lemon juice. I actually think I liked it a little more lemony anyways! Also the restaurant doesn't add as much sundried tomatoes which is also easy to cut down. I just sauteed my chicken breasts in a skillet and when they were almost done I added a little bit of the sauce to get infused into the meat. The key to get the sauce so flavorful is to really reduce it well. It may not look like much sauce when your done, but that light coating of sauce will really make your dish pop! Such an excellent recipe! Its so great that we can have chicken bryan at home now! Thanks for the great recipe!"

• "These were good but I expected better. The sauce is realy good but it was quite sharp which sometimes can happen if using dry wine. In order to smooth-out the sharpness I added about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp of sugar and replaced a bit of water. I did though invert the amounts for the lemon juice and wine as other reviewers suggested. I love goat cheese but not so much w/ chicken, I don't think it pairs well. Next time I will use smoked gouda with parmesan, to see if it pairs better. Over-all not a bad dish."

• "I wish I had re-read the posts about lemon juice. I should have used less. One lemon does not equal 1/2 cup. I used 3 lemons...it overwhelmed the dish."

• "I love Carrabbas Chicken Bryan. As much as I love it......it is kinda pricey in the restaurant. This recipe is Awesome!!! I doubled the recipe, used 6 chicken breasts instead of 4 and it turned out great. The hardest thing about making it was finding all the ingredients. I ended up getting what I needed at Meijer's for a reasonable price. I agree with some of the other posts.....you may want to use less lemon juice but overall I was very satisfied with the way it turned out and recommend this recipe."

• "i make this all the time for my husband on his birthday, our anniversary, or for no reason. it's his favorite dish at carrabba's. it always comes out excellent and in my opinion even better than at the restaurant. yum!"

• "YOU ARE RIGHT!!! 1/2 cup lemon juice is WAY to much juice. One lemon is fine, not 1/2 cup juice. Too bad the recipe is wrong, this is delicious when switching the wine/lemon."

• "Excellent recipe. Like the other reviews suggested, use 1/2 c. white wine and 6 tablespoons of lemon juice. The results were delicious!"
