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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and heat until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
  6. 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.
