Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts, (cutlets)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, (divided)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
  • 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes

Instructions

  • Prep and Cook the Chicken: Pat the chicken with paper towels to dry—season with salt and pepper and dredge in flour. Shake off excess flour. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Chicken breasts are dredged in seasoned flour and cooked in a skillet.
  • Make the Sauce: Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet and sauté the shallots over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute longer. Add the chicken stock and scrape up any browned bits. Reduce the heat to medium and add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, chili flakes, oregano, thyme, and sundried tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
  • The sauce is made with sauteed shallots, garlic, cream Parmesan, seasonings, and sun dried tomatoes.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce and taste for seasonings, adding salt and pepper as needed. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • The chicken is added to the sauce mixture and heated until hot.
  • Serve: Serve with hot cooked pasta or potatoes, and pass the Parmesan! Enjoy!
