Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Chicken
Description
Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Chicken is made by searing seasoned chicken thighs to develop a golden crust, then simmering them in a sauce built from olive oil extracted from sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, dried thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes. Chopped sun-dried tomatoes add texture and tang, while chicken broth adds moisture and depth. After the chicken cooks through, heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese are stirred in, creating a luscious, flavorful sauce that clings to the meat.
The combination of spices and sun-dried tomato pieces yields a savory dish with subtle spice and acidity balanced by the creaminess of the sauce. Cooking the chicken covered ensures it stays moist and tender. Serve this chicken alongside rice or vegetables to complement the rich sauce.
