Method of Preparation

  1. Begin by patting the chicken cutlets dry using a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken cutlets, cooking each side for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Introduce the sun-dried tomatoes, stirring for a couple of minutes.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to create a cohesive sauce. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  5. Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, ensuring they're submerged in the sauce. Let them simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Finish by sprinkling over grated Parmesan cheese and torn fresh basil leaves. Serve hot.

Proven Tips for Culinary Success

  • For an enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chicken cutlets in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, and dried Italian herbs for at least an hour before cooking.
  • Ensure the skillet retains the flavors by not washing it between the chicken and sauce stages.

Anticipated FAQs

  • Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried? Yes, but the flavor will be lighter. Consider roasting them first for a deeper taste.
  • What can be served alongside this dish? A light salad or garlic bread complements the rich sauce perfectly.
