Preparation

  1. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior cooking.
  2. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, then season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Melt together the avocado oil and butter, then add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3½ minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the shallot and garlic to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, being careful to not let them brown. Add the thyme and red pepper flakes and stir for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  5. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and sun-dried tomatoes and cook until the liquid reduces slightly, 3–5 minutes.
  6. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce thickens slightly. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until warmed through.
  8. Garnish with the basil and serve with mashed potatoes or pasta.
  9. Enjoy!
