Categories     Chicken     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

750g / 1.5lb chicken thighs OR chicken breast (, skinless and boneless)
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (, strips, drained of oil (Note 1))
2 tbsp oil from sun dried tomatoes jar ((Note 1))
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1/2 cup (125 ml) white wine ((sub chicken broth))
3/4 cup (185 ml) chicken broth/stock (, low sodium)
3/4 cup (185 ml) thickened / heavy cream
1/3 cup (30g) parmesan, very finely shredded ((Note 2))
2 tsp Dijon mustard ((Note 3))
1 cup basil leaves (, packed (optional))

Steps:

  • Breast: Cut chicken in half horiztonally to form 2 thin steaks.
  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil from sun dried tomat jar in a large skillet over high heat.
  • Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides - 6 minutes total for thigh or 4 minutes for breast. Remove onto a plate, keep warm.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 15 seconds until light golden.
  • Add wine. Bring to simmer and scrape the bottom of the skillet to mix all the brown bits into the wine.
  • Let the wine simmer for 1 minute or so until the smell of alcohol is gone which means it has evaporated.
  • Mix in mustard, then add the chicken broth, cream, parmesan and sun dried tomatoes.
  • Bring to simmer, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Stir regularly to dissolve parmesan cheese.
  • Taste sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Stir through basil leaves, then return chicken into pan. Spoon sauce over and simmer 1 minute.
  • Serve immediately! Great served over mashed potato, Creamy Mashed Cauliflower or pasta. Or serve with bread on the side to mop up sauce!

CREAMY SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN BREASTS



Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Breasts image

Skinless, boneless Chicken Breasts with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce cooked in a skillet. Easy, one-pan recipe. Chicken breasts are tender, moist and never dry thanks to a rich, silky creamy sauce. Make the sauce by roasting garlic and sun-dried tomatoes in the skillet, adding the cream, shredded Mozzarella cheese, and just the right amount of spices (basil and crushed red pepper)! One of the best ways to cook chicken breasts!

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 garlic cloves (, minced)
6 oz sun-dried tomatoes (, in oil, from a jar)
salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (, either from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes, or just use olive oil)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 chicken breasts (, halved horizontally (about 2 lb))
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon basil (if using dry basil, if using fresh basil you can add more)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (at least, add more to taste)

Steps:

  • Note: if using sun-dried tomatoes in oil (in a jar), make sure to drain sun-dried tomatoes from oil, before using them. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this drained oil for sauteing as described below:
  • In a large pan, on medium heat, saute garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (drained from oil) in 2 tablespoons of oil (reserved from the sun-dried tomatoes jar - see note above) for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant.
  • Remove sun-dried tomatoes and garlic from the pan, leaving the olive oil in the pan.
  • Add chicken breasts, halved horizontally, salted and lightly covered in paprika (for color).
  • Cook the chicken on medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side.
  • Cover the pan with the lid, remove from heat, and let the chicken sit, cooking in its own juices, with heat off, until completely cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet. Chicken could have released juices - in my case it was 1/2 cup of juices. Remove the juices from the skillet, to avoid greasiness.
  • To the same skillet (from which you removed the chicken and the juices), add back sun-dried tomatoes and garlic.
  • Add 1 cup of heavy cream, bring to boil.
  • Add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, immediately reduce to simmer, constantly stirring to melt the cheese.
  • Add 1 cup of milk gradually, whisking until nice and smooth, while on simmer.
  • Add basil and crushed red pepper - mix to combine.
  • Add cooked chicken breasts. Season with salt. Reheat until warm.

CHICKEN BREASTS IN SUN-DRIED TOMATO CREAM



Chicken Breasts in Sun-Dried Tomato Cream image

This is great. Easy enough to prepare after work, yet elegant enough for company and with flavor to spare. This is a recipe that came from a member of my daughters online playgroup. (Thanks Alice) It is very simple and delicious, but impressive. Your guests will think that you are indeed a "chef". I like to double the sauce recipe and serve this with pasta. Also a quick note: for a variation that tastes just like Johnny Carino's Chicken Scaloppini, make sure to double the sauce recipe and add diced bacon and chopped Roma tomatoes and serve over angel hair pasta.

Categories     Milk/Cream     Blender     Chicken     Tomato     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Basil     White Wine     Fall     Simmer     Gourmet     California

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 pound total)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil; 1/2 ounce), patted dry and coarsely chopped
3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and season with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, turning once, about 6 minutes total. (Chicken will not be cooked through.) Transfer with tongs to a plate.
  • Add garlic, tomatoes, and red pepper flakes to skillet and sauté, stirring, until garlic is pale golden, about 1 minute. Add wine and boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil, covered.
  • Add chicken to skillet with any juices accumulated on plate and simmer, covered, until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer chicken with tongs to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Stir cream and 2 tablespoons basil into sauce in skillet and bring just to a simmer.
  • Transfer sauce to a deep heatproof bowl or 1-quart glass measure and purée with an immersion blender until almost smooth. (Alternatively, blend sauce in a standing blender. Use caution when blending hot liquids.) If necessary, add water to thin to desired consistency, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve sauce over chicken and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons basil.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Prioritize preparation by measuring ingredients, chopping vegetables, and gathering necessary equipment before starting to cook. This streamlines the cooking process and prevents scrambling for ingredients during cooking.
  • Seasoning: Don't be shy with seasonings! Salt and pepper are essential, but don't be afraid to experiment with herbs, spices, and citrus zest to enhance the flavors of the dish.
  • Cooking Chicken Breasts: Ensure even cooking by pounding chicken breasts to an even thickness. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to achieve this. You can also opt for butterflying the chicken breasts if preferred.
  • Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce: For a richer sauce, use homemade chicken stock instead of water. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
  • Fresh Herbs: Elevate the flavors of the dish by incorporating fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or chives just before serving. This adds a vibrant touch and enhances the overall taste.
