Chicken Breasts In Sun-dried Tomato Cream

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Poultry - Chicken

This is great. Easy enough to prepare after work, yet elegant enough for company and with flavor to spare. This is a recipe that came from a member of my daughters online playgroup. (Thanks Alice) It is very simple and delicious, but impressive. Your guests will think that you are indeed a "chef". I like to double the sauce recipe and serve this with pasta. Also a quick note: for a variation that tastes just like Johnny Carino's Chicken Scaloppini, make sure to double the sauce recipe and add diced bacon and chopped Roma tomatoes and serve over angel hair pasta.

"I loved this recipe. Made it last night. My husband and son also loved it. I did season the chicken with salt and fresh ground pepper. I also added an onion finely chopped to the mushrooms. I used chopped garlic that came in sun dried tomatoes as well as the sun dried tomatoes. Made about 1-1/2 sauce and served it over portabella mushroom stuffed tortellini. I would definitely double the sauce recipe next time." - valerieshippee

I doubled this recipe and made it as a pasta. I found it pretty bland. The only flavour came from the sun-dried tomatoes. This wasn't a bad recipe but it could use some tweaking for more flavour.

Outstanding! I left out the mushrooms, added a little cooking wine to the sauce and served it over brown rice.
