Happy day, pal! Hope you’re having a wonderful summer-week!
For me, if it involves outdoor dining with my beautiful best friends and a couple of wine glasses, it means I had a fantastic week/weekend!
Also? My kids spent the night at my mom’s! AND! I got to sleep in!! And and! I ate ice cream for breakfast!
Don’t be jelly… it only happens like thrice a year. But I’ll take it!
Soooo. Look at that. My chicken-craze continues…
Are you totally sick and tired of seeing chicken-posts?? #sorrynotsorry. No, really, I’m not even a little bit sorry because this Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce Chicken is about to become the best thing you’ve ever had!
Weeeeell, that’s until the next time that I post a recipe and then THAT ONE will be the best thing you’ve ever had.
We gotta talk about this creamy sun-dried tomato sauce chicken. Omg. I didn’t really know where I was going with this or what was going to unfold, but all I knew at that first-bite-moment was that I need to write a cookbook and call it “50 Shades of Chicken”. 😉
It all started on a one unassuming, sunny, summery afternoon… it was last week.
I went to clean the pantry and much to my surprise, I found not one but TWO jars of sun dried tomatoes. I was surprised because we don’t buy them that often, but when we do, I use them up as soon as possible. They’re so good! Not sure how I let these slide by…
I should also tell you that during my pantry clean-up, I found a barbie doll in there and a furry toy that totally scared the bejesus out of me because I thought it was a rat. EWWWW!!!
SO THEN, right after my “ew-that’s-gross-feeling” went away, it was clear. I knew what I had to do. Nothing was going to change my mind.
It was time to take out the silver pan and cook-up some chicken breasts.
So some breasts were “seared”, then some sauce was made, and scoops of sun dried tomatoes brought the whole thing together. Theeeee End.
ENJOY!

Sounded fabulous, but it was very bitter and much too rustic tasting. Thank you for posting, and I’m sure that some who have a more hardy palate will enjoy, just no one in my family.
I just cooked this dish for dinner and I was a great hit with the family.
I just made this tonight and it was excellent! The chicken was tender and the flavor was incredible! I only had dried thyme on hand and was reluctant to make it without fresh thyme so as not to ruin the meal but it was still delicious. My husband loved it, as well, and so did my daughter. For our picky-eater sons, I fooled them and just served it without any of the onions or tomatoes over the top and they, too, said it was so good.
I made it and the sauce never turned red or stayed white. What did I do wrong. I followed the video step but step
