Here’s a decadent recipe for Chicken in a Rich, Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce 🍗🍅 — perfect for a weeknight dinner or special occasion.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed is best, drain excess)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Optional: fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the chicken
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Make the sauce
- In the same skillet, sauté onions until soft (3–4 minutes).
- Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine & finish
- Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it.
- Simmer 2–3 minutes until chicken is heated through and coated in the creamy sauce.
- Serve
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
- Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Tips
- Extra flavor: Add a splash of white wine when sautéing the onions.
- Thicker sauce: Let it simmer a few extra minutes or stir in 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with water.
- Vegetable boost: Add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for added texture and nutrition.
If you want, I can give you a slow cooker version where the chicken simmers all day in the sun-dried tomato cream sauce — super tender and flavorful 😄
