A creamy, flavorful chicken dish that is irresistible and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, sliced lengthwise into thin cutlets)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour and shake off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate to keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for about a minute until it’s fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken stock and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan to enhance the flavors.
  5. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan. Let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken the sauce.
  6. Add in the chili flakes, oregano, and thyme. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and allow it to simmer for a few minutes, ensuring the sauce coats the chicken beautifully.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta or rice.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half. For a seasonal twist, use fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried.
