Ingredients 

    ▢ 3 large chicken breasts boneless and skinless, sliced lengthwise into thin cutlets
    ▢ ½ teaspoon salt
    ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    ▢ 6 tablespoons (50 grams) all-purpose flour
    ▢ 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
    ▢ 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
    ▢ 3 cloves garlic minced
    ▢ 1 cup (240 ml) chicken stock
    ▢ 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (double cream in the UK)
    ▢ ½ cup (43 grams) parmesan cheese grated
    ▢ 1 teaspoon chili flakes
    ▢ ¼ teaspoon oregano
    ▢ ¼ teaspoon thyme
    ▢ ⅓ cup sundried tomatoes chopped
    ▢ 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves

Instructions 

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour and shake off any excess.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and melt the butter on medium heat. Swirl pan to coat with oil and butter evenly.
  • Brown the chicken (do not overcrowd and work in batches if needed) for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer onto a plate, cover, and set aside.
  • Saute the garlic for a minute or until it's fragrant. Add the chicken stock, and deglaze the pan scraping any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Adjust the heat to medium-low, and add the heavy cream and the parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes, then season with chili flakes, thyme, and oregano.
  • Season with salt and pepper to your taste, add the sundried tomatoes then put the chicken back in the sauce and let the sauce simmer and thicken for a few more minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta or rice.
