Ingredients

2 Chicken Breasts Sliced in half to make 4 pieces
1/2 cup Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Garlic minced
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 cup Parmesan grated
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Thyme
1/2 cup Basil fresh, chopped
1/2 cup Sun Dried Tomatoes

Instructions

Cut each chicken breast in half to make four thinner cutlets. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Lightly coat both sides of each cutlet with seasoned flour mixture.
Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, deglazing the pot as you stir. Then add the parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, oregano, and stir together on a low to medium heat.
Finally, add the sun dried tomatoes to the skillet and stir until the sauce is well combined. Continue stirring and on a low simmer for 5 minutes as the sauce thickens and bubbles.
Add the chicken back in for 10 more minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken, until heated through.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil and grated parmesan and serve warm over your favorite pasta, rice or potatoes.

Notes

Storage and Reheating Instructions:

Store in a gallon size baggie or air tight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. I do not recommend mixing the pasta into this dish if you plan to have leftovers because as it cools, the sauce sticks to the noodles and it's a bit harder to reheat. I would put individual servings of pasta on each place, top with chicken, then pour over the sauce. Then, store the sauce and chicken in one container, separate from the pasta and refrigerate.

Reheat in a microwave or on a stove top until heated through.
