Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 small handful fresh basil chopped or torn
Instructions
- Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thinner halves. Season them with garlic powder and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- In a skillet, melt the butter and add the olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up for a few moments.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- With the heat still on medium, add flour and minced garlic to the skillet. Let it cook for about a minute, stirring often.
- Pour in the white wine and whisk until the flour dissolves. Let it bubble until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Stir in the cream, tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens to your liking.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the parmesan cheese and basil.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the luscious sauce over the top. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.
