I'm sorry for posting so late, but I didn't find the recipe until now.

Chicken breasts with sun-dried tomato-cream sauce

Bon Appétit December 1999

"Cooking is my passion, and my husband and some of our friends share it," Kim Bartel, Youngstown, Ohio. "Our favorite weekend activity is making dinner together and pairing it with wine. When developing new recipes, I often refine and retest, but everyone loved this chicken dish the first time around. I serve it with rice, green beans and a crisp Chardonnay."

Makes 4 Servings.

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves

1/2 cup coarsely chopped drained

oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

2 large shallots, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup whipping cream*

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to drippings in skillet. Add sun-dried tomatoes, shallots and garlic. Reduce heat to medium and sauté until shallots are tender, about 5 minutes. Add cream and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Mix any accumulated juices from chicken into sauce. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.

*Note: Some might find this recipe a little too creamy (I don't!) If you do, substitute half of the cream with whole milk, or use low fat cream.

 
Thanks Eva - but a question about the chicken

Only 4 minutes per side, for a breast? Yikes, I would think that would be very undercooked... unless they are pounded very thin?

Great-sounding recipe, and I have uncooked, boneless chicken breasts in the refrigerator, ready to use. Thanks.

 
Dawn, to be honest, I no longer take the time when I cook the breasts anymore.

I have made this recipe a hundred times, so I just *know* when they are done.

But yes, I agree, 4 minutes on each side sounds too short. I'd probably double the time.
