Recipe Instructions
Preheat Oven to 375°F (190°C)
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In an ovenproof skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, outside-side down, and sear until golden brown.
Flip the chicken, top with 4 ounces of the goat cheese cut into medallions,
Transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C) depending on their size around 10 minutes.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a separate pan, sauté the shallots in butter for a few minutes until translucent.
Add the Sun-dried Tomatoes and garlic and cook for another minute,
When the garlic becomes fragrant, pour in the lemon juice and white wine and reduce until nearly evaporated.
Stir in the chicken stock and let it simmer. Add a few pieces of basil leaves and lemon zest.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest.
In the saucepan, add 1- or 2-ounces goat and parmesan cheese and adjust the consistency with additional stock if necessary. Toss the cooked fettuccine in the sauce until well coated.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve immediately.
Pro-Tips
Perfecting the Chicken
To achieve the perfect Chicken Bryan at home, make sure to grill the chicken to a golden brown before finishing it in the oven. This technique ensures that the chicken remains juicy and flavorful.
Bonus Pro-Tip: The Sauce is Everything
The lemon butter sauce is the star of this dish. Use high-quality white wine (only ever use a wine you would drink!) and fresh lemon juice to create a balanced and vibrant flavor. Don't forget to add a touch of fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes to elevate the sauce.
