Ingredients

  • 2 large Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tsp minced Garlic
  • 1/2 cup diced Onion
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1/3 cup Sun Dried Tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Oregano
  • 1/8 tsp Thyme
  • 1 tbsp fresh Basil

Instructions

  • Cut each chicken breast in half like you were butterflying them.
  • Whisk together flour, salt and pepper in a bowl or xippered bag.
  • Dredge chicken in flour mixture shaking off excess.
  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook chicken in pan for 3-5 minutes until golden brown on bottom. Turn and cook until other side is golden brown. Make sure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add garlic and onion and cook until onions are translucent.
  • Add chicken stock and deglaze pan.
  • Add heavy cream and parmesan cheese and stir until well blended.
  • Add sun dried tomatoes, red pepper, oregano and thyme. Stir to incorporate.
  • Cook until sauce thickens.
  • Add back in the cooked chicken and cook about 5 minutes to allow chicken to get hot.
  • Remove from heat and top with fresh basil.

Notes

  • Save time by prepping all of your ingredients. Shred the cheese, dice the sun-dried tomatoes and onions. Have the heavy cream ready before you start cooking the chicken.
  • Be sure to slice your chicken in half. The chicken must be thin to have thoroughly cooked juicy and tender chicken breasts.
  • Use a block of parmesan cheese and shred yourself. The pre-shredded cheese will not result in the best cream sauce.
  • Be sure you are using a high fat content heavy cream or the sauce will not become creamy.
