CARRABBA'S COPYCAT LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Step 1: Using a small saute pan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter. Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion and saute until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 6 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons white wine, season with salt and pepper to taste.

CARRABBA'S LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• To clarify butter; Melt 1/2 stick of butter over low heat. When melted, remove from heat and set aside for several minutes to allow the milk solids to settle to the bottom. Skim the clear (clarified) butter from the top, and discard sediment. (This can be done ahead of time).
• To make the sauce: Heat clarified butter, add onion and garlic, and saute until transparent. Add lemon juice and white wine, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer 2-3 minutes to reduce liquid. Remove from heat and swirl in cold butter until sauce is smooth and emulsified.

ORIGINAL CARRABBA'S CHICKEN BRYAN (NOT COPYCAT!)

Steps:

• Brush chicken on both sides with olive oil, season to taste with Kosher salt and cracked pepper.
• Grill chicken until done (internal temp of 165F) - prepare lemon butter sauce while chicken is grilling.
• Sautee onion and garlic in 2 Tbps butter until soft and fragrant.
• Add white wine and lemon juice, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes to reduce.
• Add remaining 6 Tbsp butter, a little at a time, until it melts and mixture is emulsified.
• Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and basil, heat until hot (but do not overheat or sauce may break).
• Top nearly-done chicken breasts with 2 oz each of the goat cheese until cheese warms and softens.
• To serve, spoon lemon butter sauce over chicken breasts.
• Enjoy! I serve this dish with pasta tossed in butter or olive oil (the delicious lemon butter sauce will perfect it), garlic mashed potatoes and a green salad -- yummmm!
