John This is another relatively simple and easy to make chicken dish that can be cooked when you are time poor and looking for something easy but still full of flavour.
This is a very easy way to turn a pan fried chicken breast into a wonderful meal packed full of flavour. Drench the chicken in a creamy sauce of sun-dried tomatoes, cream, spring onion, parmesan, garlic and basil. The flavours blend beautifully to elevate this to a great, easy to make weeknight meal.
You can substitute chicken thighs for this meal if that is your preference, however given there is plenty of sauce with this meal, chicken breast works perfectly.
