Ingredients
For the Grilled Chicken Bryan
- 4 Gerber's CARE Certified boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
- 1/4 cup Heinen's extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. Heinen's Italian seasoning
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. black pepper
- 3/4 cup Heinen's sun-dried tomatoes in oil, sliced
- 4 oz. Heinen's goat cheese, crumbled
For the Lemon Butter Sauce:
- 1 stick Heinen's unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp. Heinen's Italian seasoning
- 2 Tbsp. oil from the sun-dried tomato jar
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, sliced
- 1/4 cup Heinen's heavy cream
- 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large Ziploc bag, combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts. Seal the bag and use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- After marinating the chicken, preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush oil over the grates to prevent sticking. Place the chicken on the grill. Grill the chicken breasts, brushing the leftover marinade over top. Grill until an internal temperature of 165°F is achieved, about 6-7 minutes per side.
- While the chicken is grilling, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and melt, whisking continuously. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, sun-dried tomato oil and basil. Continue to cook for 2 minutes.
- Slowly add the lemon juice and whisk to combine.
- Add the cream and continue to whisk slowly for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and cover. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
- When ready to serve, add the chicken to a serving dish and top each chicken breast with a 1/4 of the goat cheese, 1/4 of the sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the chicken and serve warm.
