INGREDIENTS

  • 3 large chicken breasts boneless and skinless, sliced lengthwise into thin cutlets
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup (240ml) chicken stock
  • 1 cup (240ml) coconut cream can be replaced with equal quantity of heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • ½ teaspoon italian seasoning
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet heat some olive oil. Swirl pan to coat the oil evenly.
  • Brown the chicken - Make sure you don't overcrowd the pan - for 4-5 minutes each side or until fully cooked through. Remove from skillet and transfer to a plate.
  • In the same pan add cubed butter and some of the oil of sun-dried tomato. Allow butter to soften over low heat.
  • Sauté garlic for a minute until light brown and fragrant.
  • Add chicken stock and deglaze the pan. Scrape any bits at the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon.
  • Adjust the heat to medium-low and add heavy cream. I added coconut cream instead.
  • Add parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer and then season with italian seasoning. If not using italian seasoning then use 1 teaspoon chili flakes, ¼ teaspoon oregano and ¼ teaspoon dried thyme.
  • Season with salt and pepper as per taste. Add chopped sundried tomatoes. Add chicken back into the skillet.
  • Simmer the sauce and let it thicken until it reaches your desired level of thickness.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh basil and serve over warm pasta. I served it with my favorite mashed sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli.
