Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon Lawry's seasoning salt
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • ¾ cup whipping cream heavy
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs basil, thyme, rosemary or a combination of these

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Try to cut them so all four pieces will be relatively the same size.
  • On a plate, combine the flour and breadcrumbs. Coat the chicken in the mixture.
  • In a large pan, add the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add the chicken.
  • Cook each side for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Check by cutting the largest piece in half and see if any pink remains.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan, but continue using the pan.
  • Add the garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for one minute.
  • Stir in the stock, heavy whipping cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Now whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese to thicken the sauce.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan and top with fresh herbs.
  • Serve with toasted bread, pasta, or a salad.

Notes

Breadcrumbs is an ingredient I usually have in my pantry, but if you don't and you don't want to buy it for only the 2 tablespoons this recipe calls for, you can simply use a little more all-purpose flour for breading the chicken instead.
