  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 pound chicken cutlets

¼ teaspoon salt, divided

¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

½ cup slivered oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, plus 1 tablespoon oil from the jar

½ cup finely chopped shallots

½ cup dry white wine

½ cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle chicken with ⅛ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomato jar in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until browned and 165°F inside, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add sun-dried tomatoes and shallots to skillet. Cook 1 minute.
  4. Increase heat to high. Deglaze with white wine, scraping browned bits, and cook 2 minutes until mostly evaporated.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in cream, chicken juices, and remaining salt and pepper. Simmer 2 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to skillet, turning to coat in sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap wine with chicken broth + ½ tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Use boneless chicken thighs instead of cutlets; cook longer as needed.
  • Stir in spinach, mushrooms, or kale for added veggies.
  • Lighten the sauce with half-and-half instead of cream.
  • Add Parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes for a richer or spicier flavor.
  • Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
