Preparation

Step 1

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!
