A creamy chicken dish with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil, perfect for busy weeknights or special gatherings.

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, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and melt butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken cutlets to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in the chicken stock, scraping any bits that are stuck to the pan.
  6. Lower the heat, stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, and let simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add chili flakes, oregano, and thyme, tasting to adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, then return the chicken cutlets to the skillet. Let simmer until the sauce is thickened further, about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve warm over pasta or rice for a complete meal.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for half-and-half or use fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried. Marinate chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for extra flavor.
