Ingredients 

For the Chicken

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make thinner cutlets. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken about 4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic. Cook about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add chicken broth, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, parsley and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  • Stir in heavy cream and cook until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
  • Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 3–5 minutes until fully cooked.
  • Spoon sauce over the chicken, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Slice chicken evenly so it cooks at the same rate.
  • Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for the best flavor.
  • If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth.
