Ryans Chicken Recipes

RYAN'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• Lightly season the chicken cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a low bowl, beat eggs to make an egg wash. Place your seasoned breadcrumbs in a second low bowl.
• In a non-stick skillet with lid, melt butter and olive oil over high heat.
• Dunk chicken pieces in egg wash, then breadcrumbs, making sure the pieces are evenly and thoroughly coated with crumbs.
• Add chicken to hot butter/oil and cook until bottom is nicely browned (3-4 minutes). Turn down heat to medium-low and flip chicken over. Cover with lid, and cook until bottom of chicken is nicely browned (3-4 minutes).
• Serve immediately.

COPYCAT CHICKEN BRYAN

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Cook and stir garlic and onion in the hot oil until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine and lemon juice, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer to reduce by 1/2, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in cold butter, 1 slice at a time. Stir in tomatoes, basil, kosher salt, and white pepper; remove from heat and set aside.
• Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Place equal amounts of goat cheese on top of each chicken breast in the last few minutes of cooking. Spoon sun-dried tomato sauce over chicken.

ORIGINAL CARRABBA'S CHICKEN BRYAN (NOT COPYCAT!)

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!
