Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts , pounded to equal thickness
  • fine sea salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 head roasted garlic , mashed with a fork
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes , drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup Bacon , cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 cups Pasta or rice , cooked

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook the chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. This can range greatly depending on the size of your chicken breast. Remove chicken, set aside.
  3. In the same large skillet, melt the butter, scraping up the browned bits from the chicken. Add the flour and roasted garlic, mashing to make a paste. 
  4. Stir in the cream, stirring well to blend into a smooth (with the exception of the pieces of garlic) sauce. When incorporated, and the flour paste (roux) has blended, add the frozen peas, sun dried tomatoes, bacon and parmesan cheese. 
  5. Stir to coat and then cook for an additional 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the sauce mixture, coating evenly and allowing to reheat for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve over your choice of pasta or rice. Top with additional parmesan cheese, if desired. 
  7. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings.
