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 grams
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 30 ml
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 28 grams
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken stock 240 ml
  • 1 cup heavy cream (double cream in the UK, 240 ml)
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated, 43 grams
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme
  • 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.

Notes

Chicken cutlets are available in most supermarkets; slicing chicken breasts can achieve the same result. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can also be used, but require longer cooking. Avoid using half and half for the sauce.
