How To Make This Keto Chicken Bryan Recipe
Making this keto-friendly Carrabbas chicken Bryan copycat recipe is pretty straightforward and simple.
Begin by slicing each chicken breast horizontally so that it cooks more evenly and faster.
Then, season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and olive oil. This will serve as the marinade.
Marinate the chicken for a minimum of 20 minutes, and then cook the chicken breasts in a skillet pan until golden brown on both sides and reach 165 degrees F internal temperature on a meat thermometer.
In the same pan, heat the butter to medium and cook the onions and garlic until translucent for 1-2 minutes, and then add the sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, white wine, or chicken broth into the mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk while cooking until the sauce is well blended, slightly thickened, and becomes an emulsified sauce. Then remove from heat.
Return the chicken breasts to the pan and spoon the creamy lemon butter sauce over the top along with the sundried tomatoes. Then top with a slice of goat cheese per chicken piece and garnish with fresh basil once ready to serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement
Randy and I came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective. As believers, we live our lives supported by God’s grace.
So when the Holy Spirit led us to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.
To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting, we got on the path to real transformation.
Knowing firsthand the benefits of this decision, we have created a closed Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives.
We invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.
Be sure to request our FREE Jesus and Keto E-Book (First 7 Days). We hope it blesses you.
