Chicken With Sun Dried Tomato Mushroom Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND ROASTED PEPPER CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Lay the chicken breasts into the skillet, and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side. Pour in the chicken broth, red wine, Italian seasoning, and sun-dried tomatoes; reduce heat to low, and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the sauce is reduced, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spinach fettuccine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Arrange the fettuccine on a serving platter.
• Stir the roasted red peppers and cream into the skillet, and bring just to a simmer. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts, and arrange on the fettuccine. Whisk the flour into the sauce, and simmer until thickened, about 3 more minutes, whisking constantly. Pour sauce over chicken and pasta.

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY SUN DRIED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Breast: Cut chicken in half horiztonally to form 2 thin steaks.
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil from sun dried tomat jar in a large skillet over high heat.
• Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides - 6 minutes total for thigh or 4 minutes for breast. Remove onto a plate, keep warm.
• Add the garlic and cook for 15 seconds until light golden.
• Add wine. Bring to simmer and scrape the bottom of the skillet to mix all the brown bits into the wine.
• Let the wine simmer for 1 minute or so until the smell of alcohol is gone which means it has evaporated.
• Mix in mustard, then add the chicken broth, cream, parmesan and sun dried tomatoes.
• Bring to simmer, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Stir regularly to dissolve parmesan cheese.
• Taste sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Stir through basil leaves, then return chicken into pan. Spoon sauce over and simmer 1 minute.
• Serve immediately! Great served over mashed potato, Creamy Mashed Cauliflower or pasta. Or serve with bread on the side to mop up sauce!

CHICKEN WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; set aside. Melt remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan, thyme, oregano and basil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with basil, if desired.

CHICKEN FETTUCCINE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• CHICKEN: Paper towel dry the chicken and generously season with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet. Add chicken breasts and cook on medium high heat for 4 minutes on each side until nicely browned for a total of 8 minutes. Remove from pan.
• PASTA: In the meantime bring a large pot of salty water to boil, add pasta and cook it according to instructions. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse.
• SAUCE: Add a little bit more olive oil to the now empty skillet and make sure it's hot. Add sliced mushrooms and garlic with a little bit of Italian seasoning and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Add sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Cook for a couple of minutes longer.
• Add chicken broth and heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in shredded Parmesan cheese - until the cheese melts and sauce thickens. Taste the sauce and add salt (if using sodium free chicken broth).
• ADDING CHICKEN AND PASTA: Add Fettuccini and chicken into the sauce and reheat pasta and chicken in it for a couple more minutes, stirring to coat them well.
• Season with more salt if necessary. Serve with additional shredded Parmesan and basil, if desired.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Heat olive oil on medium-high heat, add sliced mushrooms and garlic - and cook the vegetables for about 3 minutes. Add diced sun-dried tomatoes. Reduce heat.
• Dissolve 2 cubes of chicken bullion in 2 cups of boiling water. Carefully add the broth to the skillet - continue to cook the vegetables in a chicken broth on medium heat until the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes absorb some of the broth and the broth reduces somewhat. Add half and half, heavy cream and bring to boil just for a short moment. Add Parmesan cheese and cook the sauce, stirring, for a couple of minutes, on low-medium heat until the cheese melts. Add the basil.
• If your sauce is too thick at this point - add another 1/2 cup half and half. If your sauce looks thin to you - do not continue simmering the sauce to thicken it as you will be adding pasta shortly (in the next step) - and pasta will absorb some of the sauce liquid. Even if the sauce looks thin now, it will not be so thin once you add pasta.
• Cook fettuccine al dente according to the package instruction. Drain and rinse in cold water (this will stop the cooking). Add the fettuccine into the sauce and continue cooking the sauce with the pasta in it, on medium heat, for a couple of minutes (or more - to achieve the desired thickness) stirring constantly to coat well.
• Note: do not add salt to the creamy sauce because it should already be salty enough from the dissolved chicken cubes. Only in the very end when the sauce is done, you may add some salt if needed.
• Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. If you don't have the right equipment to pound a chicken, wrap the chicken breast in plastic, and use a heavy pan to pound it until you reach the desired thickness. Don't overdo it. While this step is desirable to achieve even cooking, you can also skip it. :)
• Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt and pepper. You can also add a touch of Cajun spice on both sides, if desired.
• Heat the large pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add olive oil and swirl it around the pan. Immediately, add the chicken breasts and cook them for 2 minutes on one side.
• Flip each chicken breast over to the other side, cover, and cook for 2 more minutes on the other side.
• Flip them over again to the other side, turn off the heat, cover the pan with the lid and let the chicken breasts sit covered for about 10-15 minutes (depending on the thickness of chicken breasts). If your chicken breasts are very thick, you might even need 20 minutes. After 10-15 minutes are over, make a thin incision in the center of one of the chicken breasts to check for doneness and to make sure there is no pink in the middle.
• Place 1/4th of pasta from the pan on each of 4 dinner plates. Top the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese. Then, top each pasta with a chicken breast. I love to serve pasta with salt and pepper mills, so that people can add freshly ground pepper or more salt to their dish.
