How to Make Chicken Breasts In Sun Dried Tomato Cream

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts in the skillet and sauté for 8 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned and most of their liquid has evaporated (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained), 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  8. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, or until slightly thickened.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until heated through (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. (Optional: For Johnny Carino's style, double the sauce, add 4 ounces of diced bacon and 1/2 cup of diced Roma tomatoes. Serve over angel hair pasta.)
  11. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta (or mashed potatoes).
