Carrabba's Chicken Bryan

A few years back we were visiting a very good friend in Arizona.  She mentioned a restaurant her and her sister found and a certain dish they fell in love with.  So we went to the restaurant, and had their Chicken Bryan.  It was VERY good, and with talking with her, we said that we could remake it.  So we looked up a recipe and made it later in the week.  I fell in love and have made it several time since.  While it's probably not a Weight Watchers recipe, I would recommend a smaller portion, rather than making it with substitutes.
