Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

Quick-cooking chicken cutlets are a time-saving hero in this 20-minute dinner recipe. A jar of sun-dried tomatoes does double duty—the flavorful oil they're packed in is used to saute; the chicken, and the tomatoes go into the cream sauce.

Servings: 4
Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces chicken cutlets
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • ½ cup slivered oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, plus 1 tablespoon oil from the jar
  • ½ cup finely chopped shallots
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add sun-dried tomatoes and shallots to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add wine. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in cream, any accumulated juices from the chicken and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper; simmer for 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce. Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and parsley.
