Creamy, flavorful chicken in a rich tomato-cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan, perfect for weeknights or special guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (each 9 to 10 ounces)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 4 garlic cloves, grated or minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup dry packed sun dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan, plus more for serving
  • Flat leaf parsley, finely chopped, for serving

Instructions

  1. Starting from the thickest end, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to end up with a total of 8 cutlets. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
  2. Spread the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil. Once melted, cook 4 cutlets until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining cutlets.
  4. Reduce heat to medium low. In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and add the onion. Cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add garlic, red pepper, and tomato paste. Stir and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Pour in wine to deglaze, scraping up brown bits. Let reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in chicken stock, sun dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer, then add chicken back to the pan; cook for 5 minutes.
  8. Stir in cream and parmesan, letting simmer for 5 minutes until chicken is tender and flavors meld.
  9. Top with parsley and extra parmesan, and serve alongside mashed potatoes or pasta.
