Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
  • Salt and black pepper
  • About 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Chili flakes to taste
  • A pinch of dried oregano
  • A pinch of dried thyme
  • 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • Fresh basil chopped, for finishing

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, then lightly coat in flour, shaking off the extra.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken in batches and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
  3. In the same pan, add the garlic and cook for about a minute until it smells amazing. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan. Let it simmer gently until the sauce starts to thicken.
  5. Season with chili flakes, oregano, and thyme. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, then return the chicken to the pan and let everything simmer together for a few more minutes.
  6. Finish with fresh basil and serve hot over pasta or rice.

Notes

Is this dish actually marriage-worthy? I don’t know. But it is definitely “cancel your plans and stay in” worthy. And honestly, that’s a pretty strong commitment too.
