Step 1
If using chicken breasts, start from the thickest end and slice each chicken breast in half horizontally so you end up with a total of 6 cutlets (see Tip). Season both sides of the chicken cutlets well with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Scatter the flour on a large plate and coat the cutlets, shaking off the excess. Transfer the cutlets to a sheet pan or large plate in a single layer.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. As soon as it melts, add the cutlets and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook the other side until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Do this in batches, if needed, adding more oil, if needed. Transfer the cutlets to a plate or sheet pan.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stirring until the color deepens, about 2 minutes. Add the oregano and red-pepper flakes, to taste.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium, add the stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add ½ cup of the cream and warm through, stirring, until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Watch the cream closely, reducing the heat if necessary, to maintain a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan and the sun-dried tomatoes. Add more cream, if you like, and season the sauce.
Step 7
Place the chicken back in the pan to warm through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and scatter basil on top.
Tip
To make it easier to slice into cutlets, place the chicken breasts in the freezer for 20 minutes.

I have been making this for years. I pound my chicken cutlets and by the time it’s done they’re are falling apart tender. I add a lot more broth and thicken it with the flour from the chicken. I also add a half pound of cooked pasta and a lot of raw baby spinach at the end - it melts from the heat and makes this a true one pot meal. I always have enough for at least 2 nights!!
You don't need to use that much oil & butter to make this dish, 1/2 the amount is sufficient . You can also use milk, or coconut milk instead of cream
Add a finely diced shallot when you add the garlic, you won’t regret it.
This was great! I used a pack of chicken tenders, which made for smaller cutlets. I used Lupin flour to keep the carbs down, and it worked fine.
I added two minced shallots with the garlic, doubled the sun-dried tomatoes, increased the broth and cream by half and added a small bag of fresh spinach after blending in the cream.
This is a really delicious dish. I don't use any butter and cook the chicken thigh in the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes for additional flavour. Like others have noted you only need about a tablespoon of cream. I also add in a bag of baby spinach and serve with mashed pumpkin.
Definitely use 3 quarter cup of heavy cream for the sauce. I used the 1/2 cup and the oil from the tomatoes, the olive oil and butter is too much and separates. It was a good sauce and I will make it again, but use all the cream.

This cozy dish, which [went viral on TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@gimme.delicious/video/7213007579411238190) with claims that if you prepare it for someone, you will end up getting married, features boneless chicken breasts nestled in a creamy, tomato-y sauce. With wedding bells in mind or not, this dish comes together fairly quickly and is just as great for entertaining as it is for a family meal. In this version, the addition of tomato paste adds a bright acidity to the rich cream sauce and complements the sun-dried tomatoes. Serve with crusty bread to sop up all the juices as well as tangy green salad to balance out the sauce’s richness. Or, try it over pasta, [rice](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019204-basic-stovetop-rice) or [polenta](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014527-basic-polenta).

## Preparation

Make the recipe with us
Watch
1. Step 1
If using chicken breasts, start from the thickest end and slice each chicken breast in half horizontally so you end up with a total of 6 cutlets (see Tip). Season both sides of the chicken cutlets well with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2
Scatter the flour on a large plate and coat the cutlets, shaking off the excess. Transfer the cutlets to a sheet pan or large plate in a single layer.
3. Step 3
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. As soon as it melts, add the cutlets and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook the other side until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Do this in batches, if needed, adding more oil, if needed. Transfer the cutlets to a plate or sheet pan.
4. Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stirring until the color deepens, about 2 minutes. Add the oregano and red-pepper flakes, to taste.
5. Step 5
Increase the heat to medium, add the stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
6. Step 6
Add ½ cup of the cream and warm through, stirring, until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Watch the cream closely, reducing the heat if necessary, to maintain a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan and the sun-dried tomatoes. Add more cream, if you like, and season the sauce.
7. Step 7
Place the chicken back in the pan to warm through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and scatter basil on top.
Tip
- To make it easier to slice into cutlets, place the chicken breasts in the freezer for 20 minutes.

I have been making this for years. I pound my chicken cutlets and by the time it’s done they’re are falling apart tender. I add a lot more broth and thicken it with the flour from the chicken. I also add a half pound of cooked pasta and a lot of raw baby spinach at the end - it melts from the heat and makes this a true one pot meal. I always have enough for at least 2 nights!\!

You don't need to use that much oil & butter to make this dish, 1/2 the amount is sufficient . You can also use milk, or coconut milk instead of cream

Add a finely diced shallot when you add the garlic, you won’t regret it.

This was great! I used a pack of chicken tenders, which made for smaller cutlets. I used Lupin flour to keep the carbs down, and it worked fine. I added two minced shallots with the garlic, doubled the sun-dried tomatoes, increased the broth and cream by half and added a small bag of fresh spinach after blending in the cream.

This is a really delicious dish. I don't use any butter and cook the chicken thigh in the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes for additional flavour. Like others have noted you only need about a tablespoon of cream. I also add in a bag of baby spinach and serve with mashed pumpkin.

Definitely use 3 quarter cup of heavy cream for the sauce. I used the 1/2 cup and the oil from the tomatoes, the olive oil and butter is too much and separates. It was a good sauce and I will make it again, but use all the cream.

1. Step 1
If using chicken breasts, start from the thickest end and slice each chicken breast in half horizontally so you end up with a total of 6 cutlets (see Tip). Season both sides of the chicken cutlets well with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2
Scatter the flour on a large plate and coat the cutlets, shaking off the excess. Transfer the cutlets to a sheet pan or large plate in a single layer.
3. Step 3
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. As soon as it melts, add the cutlets and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook the other side until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Do this in batches, if needed, adding more oil, if needed. Transfer the cutlets to a plate or sheet pan.
4. Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stirring until the color deepens, about 2 minutes. Add the oregano and red-pepper flakes, to taste.
5. Step 5
Increase the heat to medium, add the stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
6. Step 6
Add ½ cup of the cream and warm through, stirring, until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Watch the cream closely, reducing the heat if necessary, to maintain a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan and the sun-dried tomatoes. Add more cream, if you like, and season the sauce.
7. Step 7
Place the chicken back in the pan to warm through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and scatter basil on top.
Tip
- To make it easier to slice into cutlets, place the chicken breasts in the freezer for 20 minutes.
