I was looking for recipes to make with my homemade sun-dried tomatoes, and stumbled upon this recipe from Natasha's Kitchen. It was absolutely fabulous! Similar to a vodka pasta sauce.



INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup homemade sun-dried tomatoes, packed in olive oil
• 1 cup water
• 2 lbs. chicken breasts or tenderloins
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1 cup half & half or heavy cream
• 1 cup parmesan cheese shredded
• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tbsp. dried parsley to garnish



DIRECTIONS

1. Place the sun-dried tomatoes and water in a blender or smoothie cup and process for 60-90 seconds, until it resembles tomato sauce.
2. Rinse off the chicken, pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, until deep golden brown.
4. Flip the chicken and fry for an additional 5 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the sun-dried tomato mixture. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Add the cream, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes. Stir.
6. Serve over rice (or pasta)
