A delightful dish with creamy sauce and tender chicken, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

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 parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme
  • ⅓ cup sundried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and melt the butter.
  4. Brown the chicken in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Then transfer to a plate to keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  6. Pour in the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
  7. Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and parmesan. Simmer for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
  8. Stir in the chili flakes, thyme, and oregano, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Add the sundried tomatoes and return the chicken to the skillet. Let it simmer in the sauce until slightly thickened.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve over pasta or rice for a complete meal.

Notes

For variations, try using grated mozzarella instead of parmesan or low-fat cream to lighten the dish.
