Ingredients

  • 2 pcs boneless skinless chicken thigh — or thin chicken breast cutlets
  • salt
  • pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika — not smoked
  • 1 pcs extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pcs butter

Sauce

  • 4 pcs garlic clove — minced
  • 1 pcs chicken broth
  • 1 pcs heavy cream — whipping
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning — or 1/2 tsp each of dried oregano + dried basil
  • ¼ pcs red pepper flake
  • ¾ tsp sea salt — fine
  • ¼ pcs ground black pepper
  • 1 pcs parmesan cheese — grated
  • ½ cup sun dried tomato — chopped
  • 1 tbsp basil leaf — fresh

Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim any fat from the chicken, if needed. Dry the chicken with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil and melt the butter on medium-high. Brown the chicken on each side for 3-4 minutes (it won't be cooked all the way through). Transfer it to a plate, cover it with foil, and set it aside.

SAUCE

  1. 1

    Saute the garlic for 1 minute until it's fragrant. Add the chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Turn the heat down to medium-low.

  2. 2

    Add the heavy whipping cream, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until the cream is heated through, do not let it come to a boil or it will burn.

  3. 3

    Mix in the parmesan cheese a little bit at a time (to prevent clumping). Stir constantly until it's melted.

  4. 4

    Stir in the sundried tomatoes. Put the chicken back in the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for a few more minutes until the chicken is cooked through to 165 F. Adjust seasonings if needed (more salt and pepper, more red pepper flakes).

  5. 5

    Garnish with thin basil slivers and enjoy! Serve with roasted vegetables, cauliflower rice for low carb, or over rice or pasta.
