Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup diced shallots
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ½ pound asparagus cut into 1-inch pieces
- ⅓ cup basil pesto
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to season
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, Parmesan, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl.
- Coat both sides of each chicken breast in the flour mixture.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear both sides until golden, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside on a clean plate.
- Add the shallot to the skillet and cook until lightly golden.
- Pour in the wine to deglaze the skillet. Cook until evaporated, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the tomatoes and asparagus to the skillet and cook until just tender, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the pesto and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Add the chicken back into the skillet. Cook, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is warmed through (165°F internal temperature). Serve with fresh basil.
Notes
- Storage: Store pesto chicken skillet and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
