Equipment

  • skillet
  • kitchen tongs
  • spatula

Ingredients
  

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

Notes

Chicken cutlets/steaks are available in most supermarkets, but you can slice a chicken breast in half and get the same result. Make sure to slice chicken breasts into thin cutlets correctly to ensure doneness and tenderness. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
