Tuscan Chicken In Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Sauce Recipes

TUSCAN CHICKEN IN CREAMY SUN DRIED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. Trim the chicken breasts to remove any fatty parts.
• Whisk the egg lightly in a shallow bowl.
• In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and garlic salt.
• Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large frying pan (skillet) on a medium-to-high heat.
• Dip the chicken breasts in the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture.
• Place the chicken in the pan and fry on both sides until golden.
• Take the chicken out of the pan and place on a tray in the oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking whilst you make the sauce.
• Add the oil to the pan and heat on a medium heat.
• Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
• Add the garlic, oregano, paprika, sun dried tomatoes, red pepper and tomato puree. Cook for 2 minutes, moving around the pan with a spatula.
• Next pour in the wine and allow to bubble for 2 minutes,
• Now add the chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the cream, parmesan and the spinach to the sauce and stir and cook for a couple of minutes until the spinach wilts.
• Remove the chicken from the oven. Check it's done (insert a knife into the fattest piece of one of the chicken breasts - it should no longer be pink) and place in the pan with the sauce and cook for another couple of minutes.
• Serve topped with a sprinkling of fresh parsley. Tastes great with pasta, courgetti (zoodles), rice or saute potatoes.
