A romantic dish featuring tender chicken thighs in a creamy sun-dried tomato and parmesan sauce, perfect for special occasions or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh basil or red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Sear the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
  4. Make the sauce: Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add sun-dried tomatoes: Mix in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, allowing the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Simmer the chicken: Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, spoon sauce over them, cover, and let simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh basil or red pepper flakes and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

For brighter flavors, consider using fresh herbs or sautéed mushrooms as a mix-in. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
