Chicken with Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Sauce Recipe
Chicken with Creamy Solar Dried Tomato Sauce – an 80’s throwback! I prefer to pack in quite a lot of solar dried tomato flavour right here through the use of the oil from the jar to cook dinner the chicken. Why throw away free flavour??
Creamy Solar Dried Tomato Sauce for Chicken
Solar dried tomatoes don’t function as a lot anymore as they need to. Again within the 80’s they had been ALL THE RAGE!
However they by no means went out of style in my world. Throw a small quantity into virtually any meal and also you get a beautiful burst of additional flavour. I exploit them to make an excellent fast 12 Minutes Solar Dried Tomato Couscous Salad, in creamy chicken pasta, I stuff ’em inside chicken breast and Chicken Meatloaf and I exploit then for pasta salads.
The added bonus is the oil that the solar dried tomatoes are marinated in. Free flavour! Utilizing the oil from the jar to cook dinner the chicken actually drives dwelling the solar dried tomato flavour in the general dish.
I by no means toss out the oil that olives and different antipasto issues are available. I recycle them – both cook dinner with it, or I exploit it to marinate cubes of feta or char grilled greens. Must you ever tried that? Tremendous thrifty – and additional flavour!
Creamy Solar Dried Tomato Sauce substances
Right here’s what you want for the creamy solar dried tomato sauce. I’ve used chicken thighs right here, nevertheless it’s simply as nice made with chicken breast.
Fast dinner – 15 Minutes!
You probably have a skillet giant sufficient to cook dinner all of the chicken in a single batch, you then’ll get this on the desk in round quarter-hour. Chicken thighs ought to take round 6 -7 minutes to cook dinner, and the creamy solar dried tomato sauce takes about 5 minutes.
I often prep the sauce substances which the chicken is browning, so there’s actually not a lot additional prep time.
Serve this with mashed potato OR, to make this a sensational low carb meal, with Creamy Mashed Cauliflower. It’s additionally nice with pasta, and even just a few crusty bread, dinner rolls and even focaccia to mop up the sauce! – Johnsat x

Notes
1. Sun Dried Tomatoes – I use the sun dried tomatoes that are marinated in olive oil, rather than the dried ones without oil. It comes in a jar and you can get it over the counter at delis too. I like using the oil to cook with for extra sun dried tomato flavour!
2. Parmesan – must use either parmesan that’s finely grated yourself (pack the cup to measure) OR store bought finely shredded that looks like thin batons. Do NOT use sand-like store bought parmesan, it doesn’t melt.
3. Mustard – The mustard is optional. I add it because it thickens the sauce slightly and also adds a touch of acidity to cut through the creaminess.
4. Nutrition assuming 4 servings.
