Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Mozzarella Chicken

• 总时间: 20 minutes

配料

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional

步骤

STEP 1: SEASON THE CHICKEN

Pat the chicken breasts dry. Season both sides generously with paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

STEP 2: SEAR THE CHICKEN

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

STEP 3: MAKE THE CREAMY SAUCE

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Stir in the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well, scraping up all those delicious browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

STEP 4: ADD THE CHEESE

Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the creamy sauce over each piece. Cover the chicken generously with shredded mozzarella.

STEP 5: BAKE

Transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for about 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the mozzarella is melted, bubbling, and golden.

STEP 6: FINISH & SERVE

Sprinkle generously with fresh chopped parsley. Spoon the rich creamy tomato sauce over the chicken and serve hot with pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread. 🤤🔥
