Servings 1 2

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Topping:

  • 4 oz goat cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced

For the Lemon Butter Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tbsp capers drained (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  •  
  • Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Rub with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

Grill the Chicken:

  • Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Set aside and keep warm.

Make the Topping:

  • In a small bowl, mix softened goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and minced garlic. Set aside.

Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine white wine, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Simmer until reduced by half (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Reduce heat to low. Whisk in butter, one cube at a time, until the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Stir in capers (if using) and season with salt and pepper.

Assemble:

  • Spread a generous layer of the goat cheese mixture over each chicken breast.
  • Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Grill alternative: Use a stovetop grill pan or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
  • Goat cheese substitute: Cream cheese or ricotta can work, but goat cheese adds tanginess.
  • Wine substitution: Replace white wine with extra chicken broth or a splash of apple cider vinegar.
  • Make ahead: Prep the topping and sauce ahead, but assemble just before serving.
