Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts , pounded to equal thickness
- fine sea salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 head roasted garlic , mashed with a fork
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes , drained and chopped
- 1/4 cup bacon , cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 4 cups pasta or rice , cooked
Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. This can range greatly depending on the size of your chicken breast. Remove chicken, set aside.
- In the same large skillet, melt the butter, scraping up the browned bits from the chicken. Add the flour and roasted garlic, mashing to make a paste.
- Stir in the cream, stirring well to blend into a smooth (with the exception of the pieces of garlic) sauce. When incorporated, and the flour paste (roux) has blended, add the frozen peas, sun dried tomatoes, bacon and parmesan cheese.
- Stir to coat and then cook for an additional 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the sauce mixture, coating evenly and allowing to reheat for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve over your choice of pasta or rice. Top with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.
