A quick and creamy sun-dried tomato skillet chicken recipe that feels special enough for date night but is ready in 30 minutes. Perfect for serving over pasta or rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add shallot to the skillet and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  6. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, chicken broth, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  7. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Serve over your favorite pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
  • For thinner chicken cutlets, pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness before cutting into pieces.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple side salad.
