Calories: 753kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts boneless/skinless, cut into flat filets
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ medium yellow onion diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes drained & chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon dry oregano
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Add the flour, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a shallow bowl and stir together. Coat the chicken breasts on all sides, shaking off the excess.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onions to the skillet, and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Add the cream, sundried tomatoes, fresh thyme, oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and heat to simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and heat until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and continue to simmer for 5 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil and/or fresh thyme, and serve!
Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Save the sundried tomato oil for another recipe like a salad dressing, marinade, or sauteed vegetables or meat!
- Use fresh Parmesan that you shredded yourself for the best results! It melts a lot better than store-bought shredded Parmesan.
