For an even richer sauce, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or mascarpone cheese at the end of cooking. Serve over pasta, rice, polenta, or mashed potatoes to soak up all the delicious sauce. If you don't have fresh thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme can be substituted. Pounding the chicken breasts ensures even cooking and tender results. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
02
StepSeason chicken breasts generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add to the hot oil. (1 minute)
03
StepCook chicken for 4 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown and nearly cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. (8 minutes)
04
StepAdd diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped thyme leaves to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. (3 minutes)
05
StepStir in flour and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it's fully incorporated and no lumps remain. This creates a roux that will thicken the sauce. (1 minute)
06
StepGradually pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes. (2 minutes)
07
StepReturn chicken to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. (2 minutes)
08
StepReduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 15 to 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read at least 165°F (74°C). (18 minutes)
