    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 15 minutes
    Total Time: 30 minutes
    Servings: 4

    Ingredients

    • 4 thinly sliced chicken breast
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp pepper
    • 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 cup chicken stock
    • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
    • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
    • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • basil sliced, for serving

    Instructions

    • Add flour, salt and pepper to a shallow bowl, mix to combine.
      One at a time dredge chicken in the seasoned flour, set aside.
    • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
    • Once hot add in the chicken and cook for 3 minutes on each side (depending on thickness)
      Remove from the pan and set aside.
    • To the same skillet add in the onions and sun dried tomatoes. Saute for 4 minutes or until the onions start to soften.
    • Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
      Stir in the chicken stock and deglaze the pan by scraping up the brown bites "fond" off the bottom of the pan. (This adds so much flavor!)
    • Add in heavy cream, Italian seasonings and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
    • Remove from the heat and stir in parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste and then add the chicken back to the pan.
    • Serve immediately with basil for garnish.

    Notes

    • To thinly slice your chicken breast, slice the chicken in half length-wise as evenly as possible. If you need to make the pieces a more even thickness, place a piece of plastic wrap on top and on the bottom of the piece of chicken and beat it with a meat tenderizer or even a rolling pin to make the pieces evenly sized. Alternatively, you can buy thinly sliced chicken breast from the store.
    • Use a block of parmesan cheese for the most flavor! Not only does freshly shredded parmesan melt seamlessly, but it also has the most flavor when it comes straight from the block.
    • Dice up the sun-dried tomatoes for smaller bites! Sometimes sun-dried tomatoes will come already sliced into julienne pieces, but sometimes they are whole. Dice them up once you take them out of the jar if you want them in smaller pieces.
