When I make this chicken in sun dried tomato sauce, I feel like I’m eating at a restaurant. It’s so incredibly delicious and is ready in under 30 minutes.
I feel like sun dried tomatoes are one of those under utilized kitchen ingredients. They’re convenient to keep on hand and pack SO much flavor, they make any dinner taste special. I’ve paired the tomatoes with fresh spinach and a parmesan cream sauce for this delectable sun dried tomato chicken. This is the perfect dinner for a busy night because it cooks quickly, is super satisfying and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients.
How to make sun dried tomato chicken
The first ingredient in this recipe is the chicken. I use boneless skinless chicken breasts cut thin so that they cook quickly. You can use boneless skinless chicken thighs or thicker chicken breasts, but you’ll need to increase the cook time. The chicken breasts are seared to golden brown perfection, then removed from the pan so that the sauce can be made.
The sauce is a creamy parmesan base with the addition of fresh spinach and sun dried tomatoes. If you don’t have spinach, kale would also be a great choice. The chicken gets returned to the pan and is smothered in the super delicious sauce. Add a bit of parsley and you’re done!
My favorite way to serve this sun dried tomato chicken is on a bed of pasta to soak up all the sauce. I typically use angel hair pasta which cooks in just minutes. Other great choices are orzo, polenta, or even quinoa.
Sometimes I make this creamy sun dried tomato sauce and serve it plain over penne pasta, or add some shrimp. It’s even great over pork chops. If you’re looking for a restaurant quality meal at home, this sun dried tomato chicken is a must try. While it’s easy enough for a weeknight, it’s also elegant enough to serve to company!
