  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 3-4 servings

Ingredients

– 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise into thin cutlets

– ½ teaspoon salt

– ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

– 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 cup chicken stock

– 1 cup heavy cream

– ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

– 1 teaspoon chili flakes

– ¼ teaspoon oregano

– ¼ teaspoon thyme

– ⅓ cup chopped sundried tomatoes (packed in oil recommended)

– 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

1-Season chicken cutlets with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Dredge each in 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, shaking off excess, and avoid stacking.

2-Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

3-Brown chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a warm plate, cover, and set aside.

4-Sauté 3 cloves minced garlic until fragrant. Add 1 cup chicken stock and deglaze the pan by scraping up browned bits from the bottom.

5-Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1 cup heavy cream and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese. Let sauce simmer for a few minutes.

6-Season sauce with 1 teaspoon chili flakes, ¼ teaspoon oregano, ¼ teaspoon thyme, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir in ⅓ cup chopped sundried tomatoes.

7-Return chicken to the pan. Simmer until the sauce thickens and chicken is heated through, a few more minutes.

8-Garnish with 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta, rice, or other preferred sides.

Notes

🍽️ Chicken cutlets can be bought or made by slicing chicken breasts horizontally about 1/4 inch thick.
🌿 Use oil from sundried tomatoes to sauté garlic for extra depth of flavor.
🥛 Use heavy cream for the sauce to ensure proper thickness and creaminess; avoid lighter creams.
