A creamy and flavorful chicken dish with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil that’s perfect for impressing loved ones or entertaining guests.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 3 pieces Chicken breasts (sliced into thin cutlets)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dredging)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon Oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon Thyme
- 1/3 cup Sundried tomatoes (chopped, oil-packed)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
- Dredge the seasoned chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter and sear the chicken cutlets until golden brown, then set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
- Lower the heat and add in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in chili flakes, oregano, thyme, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet and let it simmer until the sauce thickens further, about 5-7 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
Notes
Substitute coconut cream for a dairy-free option. Minimize leftovers by reducing chicken quantity for smaller servings.
