The sauce for this dish is super easy to make. The sun dried tomatoes do contain a few carbs but you don't need many and they add such a huge burst of flavor!
For this recipe, you can cook the chicken breasts however you would like – roasted or grilled works well. This sauce would also be amazing over pork chops!
How to Make Chicken with Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Sauce
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. Heat a small skillet and add some olive oil. Add finely chopped onions, garlic paste and chopped sun dried tomatoes.
Sauté over a low-medium heat until the onion has softened. Add some heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it has thickened.
Test the sauce for seasoning and add salt and black pepper if desired. Add some fresh basil to garnish. It's so pretty!
Place the chicken on a serving plate and pour the sauce over the chicken.
This dish pairs perfectly with a crisp green salad or pan fried zoodles! Something like my radish and cucumber salad would also be wonderful!
