Ingredients

3 large chicken breasts boneless and skinless, sliced lengthwise into thin cutlets
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 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 (double cream in the UK) 240 ml
0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese 43 g
1 teaspoon chili flakes
0.25 teaspoon oregano
0.25 teaspoon thyme
0.33 cup sundried tomatoes chopped, 50 g
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves for garnish

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 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.
Adjust the heat to medium-low, add heavy cream and parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow to simmer for a couple of minutes, then season with chili flakes, thyme, and oregano.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, add sundried tomatoes then return the chicken to the sauce and let simmer and thicken.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta or rice.

Notes

Chicken cutlets are available in most supermarkets, or slice chicken breasts in half. Do not use half and half/single cream as it won't thicken the sauce enough.
