Serves 4 | Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
✅ 1½ lbs Lampert's chicken tenders
✅ 1 tsp salt
✅ ½ tsp black pepper
✅ 1 tsp paprika
✅ 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
✅ 2 tbsp olive oil
✅ 2 tbsp butter
✅ 1 small shallot, finely diced (or ¼ cup diced onion)
✅ 4 cloves garlic, minced
✅ ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced
✅ 1 tsp Italian seasoning
✅ ¼ to ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
✅ ¾ cup chicken broth
✅ 1 cup heavy cream
✅ ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
✅ A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
DIRECTIONS
➡️ Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Lightly dust with flour and shake off the extra.
➡️ Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to 165°F. Set aside on a plate.
➡️ Turn the heat down to medium. Melt the butter, add the shallot, and cook for 2 minutes until soft.
➡️ Stir in the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
➡️ Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up all those tasty browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes.
➡️ Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
➡️ Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the top and simmer 2 more minutes.
➡️ Finish with fresh basil and serve.
Spoon it over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, and grab some crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that sauce.
