    Chicken with sun-dried tomato sauce is a super flavorful chicken recipe with a rich, creamy sauce. It is such an easy to make dinner recipe that is ready in under 30 minutes. The cream sauce in this recipe is a combination of sun-dried tomatoes, shallots, basil, and white wine. This is such a great recipe that only uses one pan!

    What to Serve with Chicken with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

    I like to serve Chicken with Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Sauce with pasta. You can use any kind of pasta shape with this recipe, but I prefer something like fettuccine or spaghetti. 

    This recipe would also taste terrific served over rice or even spaghetti squash. Top with some parmesan cheese and you have a comforting, delicious meal!  You can even add a tasty salad on the side like my Avocado Citrus Salad to complete the meal.

    How to Make Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

    ingredients on wood board chicken breasts, cream, shallots, butter, white wine, sun-dried tomatoes, basil and olive oil.

    Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, then dust with flour. I normally use chicken breasts for this recipe, but you could also use chicken thighs.

    chicken breasts chopped into bite sized pieces sprinkled with flour.

    Over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil in a heavy skillet. Add chicken and sauté until browned and cooked.

    Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Add shallots and cook 2-3 minutes. Deglaze pan with ½ cup of white wine. Be sure to scrape all those flavorful browned bits from the skillet.

    Stir in heavy cream, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and basil. (For a kick, add some red pepper flakes)

    Add the cooked chicken into the sauce. Bring to a slow boil and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

    Can you use regular onions instead of shallots? 

    Yes, although shallots have a bit milder and sweeter flavor. Onions can taste more intense and tangy. If you’d prefer a milder flavor, consider using less onions than what the recipe calls for. 

    What can you substitute for the white wine? 

    I love the flavor of white wine in this sauce, but chicken broth will make a great substitution.

    What are sun-dried tomatoes? 

    Sun-dried tomatoes are tomatoes that have gone through a drying process by being dehydrated in the sun or in a dehydrator. The tomatoes shrink when going through this process, creating tomatoes that are sweet, tangy, and chewy. They are normally used in pasta sauces, salads, and sandwiches.  

    Are sun-dried tomatoes healthy?

    Yes! Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals, and other antioxidants. There are lots of health benefits to eating sun-dried tomatoes. They are packed with vitamin C, which boosts immune systems.

      So so good!! Made this last week and making it again this week, thank you for a great recipe. I didn't use wine I substituted with chicken broth. Also added 3 cloves minced garlic and definitely used fresh basil.

      OMG, this is amazing. Substituted chicken broth for white wine and it worked well. Will definitely be adding this to my favorites.

      Heavenly!!! I've been making this dish for a couple of years now. I discovered this originally on Facebook. Since I am no longer using that site. I searched and found other recipes similar but not this one. This is the BEST hands down!

      My daughter requests this dish for her birthday dinner with the family. Great recipe! Thank you!
