CARRABBA'S CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN
I found this on the "Plain Chicken" food blog and it is described as a copycat recipe from Carrabba's. The original recipe included crab meat but this one does not. Serve this savory dish over pasta with crusty bread and crisp salad for a satisfying meal!

CREAMY CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN
I received this recipe from a trained chef that I worked with in college. I was in the kitchen the night he prepared it for a fancy Valentine's Day banquet for students. The sauce is savory and especially good made with pink champagne. Served with wild rice pilaf and roasted vegetables it is a perfect recipe for special guests or a romantic evening in.

ORIGINAL CARRABBA'S CHICKEN BRYAN (NOT COPYCAT!)
My hometown newspaper (The Orlando Sentinel) finally published this, my favorite chicken dish ever, in their "Thought you'd never ask" column. There are copycats on Zaar, but this is the actual recipe, as given by Carrabba's. Not for the dieter, but a divine dish perfect for company and easy to throw together!

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!
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality champagne. A brut or extra brut champagne will work well.
- If you don't have champagne, you can substitute white wine or chicken broth.
- Don't overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still tender and juicy.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
- To make a gluten-free version of this recipe, use gluten-free flour and soy sauce.
Conclusion:
Carrabba's Champagne Chicken is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice, this dish is sure to be a hit.
