Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken.
Step 1
To start, take your chicken breasts and place them in a resealable plastic bag.
Step 2
Gently pound them to an even thickness for a perfectly cooked meal.
Step 3
If your chicken breasts are on the larger side, feel free to cut them in half for easier handling.
Step 4
Once that’s done, season both sides with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Next, grab a large nonstick skillet and melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the butter is bubbling, add half of the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet.
Step 7
Cook them for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 8
To ensure they’re cooked perfectly, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 10
Repeat this process with the remaining chicken breasts, using another 4 tablespoons of butter.
Step 11
Now, let’s build some flavor! In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Step 12
Add in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Step 13
Stir everything together for about a minute until the kitchen is filled with a delightful aroma.
Step 14
Next, pour in some white wine and bring it to a boil.
Step 15
After a couple of minutes of simmering, add the chicken broth and let it return to a boil before simmering for another 5 minutes.
Step 16
This step is crucial for developing a rich, savory base for your sauce.
Step 17
Now it’s time to make it creamy! Stir in the heavy whipping cream and toss in some sun-dried tomatoes.
Step 18
Let this mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and become luscious.
Step 19
Finally, add in fresh basil for a burst of flavor and return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Step 20
Let everything cook together for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Step 21
And there you have it! A delicious, creamy chicken dish that’s sure to impress.
Step 22
Serve it up and enjoy the delightful flavors you’ve created!.
