I always like to ask J if he has any requests when I’m making my menu plans each month. Usually he replies with something along the lines of, “I’m easy to please” or “I’m not picky”, but this month, he had some ingredient (not specific dishes) requests. Sun-dried tomatoes were one of those ingredients. The man loves them. Like, really loves them. So, I went out in search of recipes using sun-dried tomatoes, and I came across this one on Pinterest.
It looked and sounded delicious, so I added it right onto the menu. My sauce turned out much more white than hers did, but maybe because I used sun-dried tomatoes (dried) in a bag, and she used the ones in a jar packed in oil? I don’t know….but color of the sauce aside, this was one amazing dish. The flavors were fantastic and it was super easy to prepare. I have a feeling you will be seeing this in a monthly re-make recap in the near future.
In the mean time, you should definitely try it for yourself. You and your family/guests will love it!!
Sun-dried Tomato Chicken
As seen on Little B Cooks
Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp butter
- salt & pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place in the skillet. Cook 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan, cover, and set aside.
- Add the butter, onion and garlic to the skillet and saute for about 2 minutes. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes, and stir well. Add the flour and whisk everything together to for about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock & wine, whisking until smooth. Add cream and continue to whisk for a couple minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the basil & stir to combine, then add the chicken back to the pan. Spoon sauce over chicken, and let it set for a couple of minutes to warm through before serving.
Looks yummy! If you made it again, would you switch for the sun dried tomatoes in oil, or use the dried ones again?
I would use the dried ones again most likely….I'm not a huge fan of things packed in oil. But, I'm sure it would be great either way!
Oh – I have dry sun dried tomatoes that I should be using up soon. Thank you for this recipe – it looks delicious!
I've been waiting for you to post this ever since I saw the photo on flickr. Looks and sounds incredible!
Yum! This looks really delicious. I love fresh basil and a sauce!
G'day! Looks YUM, healthy as can be!
Who wants to make this now? ME! 🙂
Cheers! Joanne
