Method
- Tip enough plain flour onto a dinner plate to cover it well. Season the chicken breasts on both sides and coat in the plain flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan, and over a medium-high heat fry the chicken breasts for 5 mins on each side or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate while you make the sauce.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil and gently fry the onion and garlic over a medium heat for 5-7 mins, until softened. Add the cream, chicken stock, most of the sundried tomatoes (reserve a few to serve), chilli flakes and mixed herbs.
- Stir to combine then add the chicken breasts back to the pan. Simmer gently for 10-12 mins or until the chicken is cooked through. You might need to turn your chicken breasts over if they’re big, to cook evenly.
- Stir though the Parmesan and scatter over the remaining sundried tomatoes along with the fresh basil to serve.
- Tip: You could also serve yours with pasta, if you fancy.
