To make this well loved dish, start by slicing 2 large chicken breasts into 4 thinner cutlets and set aside on a plate. In a shallow bowl or plate, mix together ½ cup of flour, and ½ teaspoon each of salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Next, dredge each piece of chicken into the flour and seasoning mixture making sure to shake off excess flour and set aside on a plate. Next, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet on medium heat. Then, cook chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165º. Once the chicken is finished cooking, transfer to a plate and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic to the skillet and stir frequently, then deglaze the pan with 1 cup of chicken broth and stir. Lower the heat to simmer and add in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of parmesan cheese to the skillet. Next, as your sauce is thickening, add in 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon each of oregano and thyme and the ⅓ cup of chopped sun dried tomatoes. Stir well and simmer until it reaches the desired thickness. Finally, place chicken back into the skillet with the creamy sauce until chicken is warmed through and you’re ready to serve.
