Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
2 garlic cloves, pushed through a press (or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder)
-
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
3/4 cup chicken broth
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
1 tablespoon oil (see note)
-
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
8 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms, sauteed in butter
-
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, flattened slightly
-
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, slivers, plus
Instructions
- Heat sun-dried tomato oil over medium-high heat.
- Sauté chicken in oil 8 minutes, turning once, until browned and cooked though.
- Transfer to a plate.
- To skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.
- Add mushrooms and saute until they are lightly browned and have released most of their liquid.
- Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Stir in flour and cook 1 minute.
- Stir in broth, cream, tomatoes, thyme, salt, pepper flakes and mushrooms.
- Bring to boil and cook 1 minute.
- Add chicken just to heat through.
- Note: Two TBSP of sun-dried tomato slivers is equal to about 4 sun-dried tomato halves.
- Buy sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.
- They come pre-seasoned.
- They cut into slivers easily with a kitchen scissors.
- I also like to flatten chicken breasts with a mallet or rolling pin to help cook more evenly.
