Chicken With Sun Dried Tomato And Roasted Pepper Cream Sauce Recipes

CREAMY SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Note: if using sun-dried tomatoes in oil (in a jar), make sure to drain sun-dried tomatoes from oil, before using them. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this drained oil for sauteing as described below:
• In a large pan, on medium heat, saute garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (drained from oil) in 2 tablespoons of oil (reserved from the sun-dried tomatoes jar - see note above) for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant.
• Remove sun-dried tomatoes and garlic from the pan, leaving the olive oil in the pan.
• Add chicken breasts, halved horizontally, salted and lightly covered in paprika (for color).
• Cook the chicken on medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side.
• Cover the pan with the lid, remove from heat, and let the chicken sit, cooking in its own juices, with heat off, until completely cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet. Chicken could have released juices - in my case it was 1/2 cup of juices. Remove the juices from the skillet, to avoid greasiness.
• To the same skillet (from which you removed the chicken and the juices), add back sun-dried tomatoes and garlic.
• Add 1 cup of heavy cream, bring to boil.
• Add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, immediately reduce to simmer, constantly stirring to melt the cheese.
• Add 1 cup of milk gradually, whisking until nice and smooth, while on simmer.
• Add basil and crushed red pepper - mix to combine.
• Add cooked chicken breasts. Season with salt. Reheat until warm.

• Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides - 6 minutes total for thigh or 4 minutes for breast. Remove onto a plate, keep warm.
• Add the garlic and cook for 15 seconds until light golden.
• Add wine. Bring to simmer and scrape the bottom of the skillet to mix all the brown bits into the wine.
• Let the wine simmer for 1 minute or so until the smell of alcohol is gone which means it has evaporated.
• Mix in mustard, then add the chicken broth, cream, parmesan and sun dried tomatoes.
• Bring to simmer, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Stir regularly to dissolve parmesan cheese.
• Taste sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Stir through basil leaves, then return chicken into pan. Spoon sauce over and simmer 1 minute.
• Serve immediately! Great served over mashed potato, Creamy Mashed Cauliflower or pasta. Or serve with bread on the side to mop up sauce!
