  1. Loved it. I doubled the sauce because was serving it over pasta. I actually cooked the chicken in the skillet while I cooked down the sauce, and added a little Parmesan at the last minute to thicken it up. Really great.

  2. 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!

  4. I cooked this for four of my friends and it came out AMAZING!! It was exactly like Carrabba's! I'm an amateur college cook and had not ever cook with wine. So if you're like me, I suggest using a Very Dry Sherry wine. The sauce was great!

  5. This recipe tastes exactly like Carrabbas chicken bryan. I've made it at least ten times and my family and I enjoy it very much! I actually put pasta noodles under my chicken instead of having a side.

  1. 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.

  3. This was very tasty! I made the recipe as stated except that I didn't have any lemon juice. Next time I make it, I will follow the other reviews and cut down on the butter and use chicken broth instead.

  4. Loved it, but next time I'm going to try chicken broth instead of 2/3 cup butter as was suggested in another review.

  5. 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!
