This dish earned its famous name because it is truly special enough to win over anyone at your dinner table. The combination of savory sun dried tomatoes, fragrant garlic, and a velvety Parmesan sauce makes for a restaurant quality meal that you can whip up right in your own kitchen.

My biggest tip for this recipe is to keep an eye on your sauce as it simmers. If it looks a little too thick, just stir in a tiny splash of extra chicken stock to get it perfectly smooth and creamy again. It is comfort food at its absolute finest.

Ingredients

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken stock
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

1
Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until it is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
3
In the same pan, add the remaining oil, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about one minute until everything smells wonderful.
4
Stir in the flour and cook for one minute to remove the raw flour taste.
5
Pour in the white wine or chicken stock, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the tasty brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
6
Stir in the chicken stock, heavy cream, and sun dried tomatoes. Let the sauce simmer until it begins to thicken.
7
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Warm through for another minute.
8
Serve immediately while hot, perhaps over your favorite pasta or with a side of crusty bread.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I recommend serving this over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice to make sure you soak up every drop of the delicious sauce. Freezing is not recommended because the creamy sauce may separate when reheated.
