This recipe is so quick to make, it’s almost criminal. This Tuscan-inspired Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Chicken boasts the incredible flavors of fragrant basil, crispy fried chicken and sweet, tangy dried tomatoes
Besides, this is a one-pan recipe – which makes me love it even more because who doesn’t like easy cleanup? This dish is perfect for a weeknight family dinner, but fancy enough to wow a dinner table full of guests. What’s more, it’s one of those healthy recipes that’ll have finicky eaters begging for more.
1. Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- salt and pepper
- 4 chicken breasts fillets
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup basil freshly chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic to oil and cook until aromatic, about 60 seconds.
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then toss into the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, then add chicken broth and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Remove cover, transfer chicken to serving platters.
Stir in coconut milk into the skillet. Spoon sauce over chicken. Top with fresh basil, serve and enjoy!
This Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Chicken works well with many accompaniments. I like it with mashed potato, brown rice or garlic bread. In spite of the not-so-traditional coconut milk, this even works surprisingly well with a penne or fusilli pasta. To boost the nutritional content of your meal up, I think creamy nutmeg spinach or Balsamic Sautéd Swiss Chard would be lovely sides.
