An irresistible one-pan dish featuring tender chicken cutlets in a creamy, savory sauce with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise into thin cutlets
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Lightly coat each piece with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the floured chicken cutlets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the skillet to lift up the delicious brown bits.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, chili flakes, and thyme, allowing the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  8. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and basil, then return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over it.
  9. Let it simmer for an additional 4-5 minutes to meld all the wonderful flavors.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil before serving warm.

Notes

Best served with mashed potatoes, pasta, or a green salad. Can substitute boneless chicken thighs for richer flavor or half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
