Chicken with sun-dried tomato sauce is super flavorful with a rich, creamy sauce. An easy to make dinner recipe that is ready in under 30 minutes.

The amazing sauce in this recipe is a combination of sun-dried tomatoes, shallots, basil, and white wine. I like to serve Chicken with Sun-dried Tomato Sauce with pasta. This dish would also taste terrific served over rice or even spaghetti squash. Add a great salad like my Avocado Citrus Salad to complete the meal.  This is a one-pan recipe your family will love!

How to make Chicken with Sun-dried Tomato Sauce.

Can you use regular onions instead of shallots? Yes, although shallots have a bit milder and sweeter flavor.
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.

    We made this last night and it was delicious! We did lighten it up a bit this time by cutting back on the butter, and replacing about 75% of the cream with chicken stock, but we will definitely make the full cream version sometime in the future! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

    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!
