Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken: A Simple & Delicious Recipe

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pan. Season both sides with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil spray in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, or until they begin to burst.
  4. Create the Sauce: Add the minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and 200ml of the chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and caramelized. Gradually add the remaining broth, reducing the sauce slightly between each addition.
  5. Combine and Simmer: Stir in the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Simmer for a few minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley or basil and serve immediately. Enjoy this delicious and easy Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Tips
