Chicken With Sun Dried Tomato And Roasted Pepper Cream Sauce Recipes

CREAMY SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Note: if using sun-dried tomatoes in oil (in a jar), make sure to drain sun-dried tomatoes from oil, before using them. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this drained oil for sauteing as described below:
• In a large pan, on medium heat, saute garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (drained from oil) in 2 tablespoons of oil (reserved from the sun-dried tomatoes jar - see note above) for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant.
• Remove sun-dried tomatoes and garlic from the pan, leaving the olive oil in the pan.
• Add chicken breasts, halved horizontally, salted and lightly covered in paprika (for color).
• Cook the chicken on medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side.
• Cover the pan with the lid, remove from heat, and let the chicken sit, cooking in its own juices, with heat off, until completely cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet. Chicken could have released juices - in my case it was 1/2 cup of juices. Remove the juices from the skillet, to avoid greasiness.
• To the same skillet (from which you removed the chicken and the juices), add back sun-dried tomatoes and garlic.
• Add 1 cup of heavy cream, bring to boil.
• Add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, immediately reduce to simmer, constantly stirring to melt the cheese.
• Add 1 cup of milk gradually, whisking until nice and smooth, while on simmer.
• Add basil and crushed red pepper - mix to combine.
• Add cooked chicken breasts. Season with salt. Reheat until warm.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pound to an even thickness. If breasts are very large, cut them in half. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook 1/2 of the chicken breasts until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from skillet and set aside. Melt another 4 tablespoons butter and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Set aside.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet and add garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Pour in wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, return to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in cream and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Stir in basil and return chicken to the skillet. Cook until chicken is thoroughly heated and sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken breast meat for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is browned. Add the garlic, cook and stir with the chicken for about 1 minute, and pour in the cream. Mix in the sun-dried tomato pesto, roasted peppers, basil, and cayenne pepper; simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
• While the sauce is simmering, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well.
• Serve the sauce over the cooked penne.
