Print Recipe

A heartwarming dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a creamy, garlicky sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan, perfect for impressing loved ones.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into cutlets
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Begin by slicing each chicken breast into cutlets to ensure even cooking. Season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.
  2. Dredge the chicken: Coat each cutlet in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour to prevent clumping.
  3. Sear the chicken: Heat the olive oil and unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the floured chicken cutlets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant—don’t let it burn!
  5. Deglaze the pan: Pour in chicken stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon.
  6. Make the sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, chili flakes, dried oregano, and thyme into the skillet. Let it simmer for about 5-6 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  7. Add the tomatoes: Toss in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine, letting it heat through.
  8. Add back the chicken: Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Let it simmer together for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  9. Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy this wonderful dish hot over pasta, rice, or alongside your favorite roasted vegetables!
