I love the perfect balance of flavors going on in this Chicken with Sun Dried Tomato and Mushroom Cream Sauce. Tangy sun dried tomatoes add amazing flavor. And of course sundried tomatoes, basil, garlic, and parmesan are a match made in heaven. I can't think of a better combination. Adding savory mushrooms just makes it all kind of magical!
Yum! The sauce has the perfect consistency. Part stock and part cream with parmesan mixed in for incredible flavor and incredible creaminess. Dried Italian herbs and fresh basil round out the flavors.
This Chicken with Sun Dried Tomato and Mushroom Cream Sauce is super quick and easy to make. Keep it in your back pocket for dinner on a busy weeknight. Sauté chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and sauté onion and mushrooms until golden. Add the sun dried tomatoes, garlic, and Italian herbs.
Add the chicken stock (I use a bouillon cube for the kick of flavor it gives) and cream. When it comes to a simmer, add the cheese and simmer until it melts. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with fresh basil.
This sauce is so delicious and flavorful. It's also great over pasta. Check out my Creamy, Cheesy Sun Dried Tomato and Mushroom Pasta.
