Recipe Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breasts 3 medium-sized, boneless skinless (680g)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (30ml) for searing
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (240ml)
  • 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (60g) julienned, oil-packed
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced (approx 20g)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (50g) freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped (8g)
  • 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet Essential for the perfect golden sear.
  • 1 Heavy Duty Tongs
  • 1 Microplane or fine grater For fresh parmesan flecks.

Method
 

Searing the Chicken
  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Place chicken in skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until dark golden-brown edges form and internal temp reaches 165°F. Remove and set aside.
Building the Cream Sauce
  1. In the same skillet with drippings, sauté minced garlic and julienned sun-dried tomatoes for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in heavy cream and scrape the bottom of the pan to lift the fond. Bring to a low simmer.
  3. Add parmesan cheese, stirring until melted flecks appear and the sauce thickens into an ivory velvet consistency.
Finishing Touches
  1. Return chicken to the skillet. Top with chopped fresh parsley and extra cracked black pepper before serving.
