Ingredients
2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into thin cutlets
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup fresh basil, chiffonade for topping
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts thoroughly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, then remove and set aside on a warm plate.
In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for one minute.
Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and dried oregano.
Simmer the sauce until it reduces slightly and becomes smooth.
Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure you use thin cutlets to maintain a quick cooking time. Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
