Description
A rich and creamy chicken dish with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and Parmesan sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1.7 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons flour (gluten-free if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup chopped onion (white or yellow)
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 4 oz oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken stock)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (or more)
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cut the chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner cutlets and season with salt and pepper, then coat in flour. Sear for about 5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add chopped onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes (with some oil from the jar). Cook on low to medium heat for about 5 minutes until onions soften.
- Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup of white wine and let it cook down slightly.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a simmer over low to medium heat. Stir in shredded Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated. If too thick, thin with chicken stock, adding more if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken to the skillet to reheat, then top with fresh basil before serving.
