Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup chicken bone broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup whole milk cottage cheese
- 2 Tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
- 1 tsp tomato paste
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (6-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Season the chicken cutlets with salt, black pepper, and flour.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add chicken bone broth, heavy cream, cottage cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Simmer until thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Plate the chicken, spoon rich sauce over each piece, and serve with grated Parmesan.
Notes
Rest the chicken for 5 minutes after cooking for maximum juiciness. Adjust crushed red pepper for spice level.
