Instructions
Marinate the chicken breasts by rubbing them with olive oil and seasoning them with salt, pepper, and parsley to taste.
Then, place the chicken in a Zip-loc bag or a dish with a cover in the fridge for about 30 minutes to marinate.
To make the sauce, combine the white wine and lemon juice in a saucepan and reduce the liquid for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
Add 6 tablespoons butter to the saucepan once the liquid has reduced.
After it has melted, add half of the chopped basil leaves and turn the heat down low.
Set aside your chopped onion and sun-dried tomatoes for now.
At this point, your chicken should have been marinating for at least 30 minutes, so heat a skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
When the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, and 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet.
Cook until the garlic and onions are soft and translucent.
When that happens, push the onions and garlic to the side of the pan and add the chicken. If necessary, add a little oil to the skillet to keep the chicken from sticking.
Cook for approximately 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The chicken can also be grilled. Simply cook it for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Top the cooked chicken with goat cheese or cream cheese.
Then top with the sun-dried tomatoes and drizzle with the lemon basil butter sauce.
Finish with the remaining chopped basil leaves and serve.
