Creamy Tuscan Chicken

Step 1

In a microwave-safe dish, place the potatoes and 1/3 cup of water.

Step 2

Cover the dish and microwave on high until the potatoes are just barely fork tender, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry.

Step 4

Slice the chicken breast in half through their equators to create 4 thin filets.

Step 5

Cover the chicken filets with plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.

Step 6

Pat the chicken dry.

Step 7

Whisk the flour, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the garlic powder, the onion powder, and the paprika together in a shallow dish.

Step 8

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour and seasoning mixture, shaking off the excess. Transfer the chicken to a dry plate.

Step 9

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Once the butter and oil are hot, add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through at 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 11

Transfer the chicken to a plate, but do not wipe the skillet.

Step 12

Reduce the heat to medium and add the sun-dried tomato oil.

Step 13

Once the oil is hot, add the sun-dried tomatoes, the shallot, and the potatoes, sautéing until the shallots are softened, about 2 minutes.

Step 14

Add the garlic and the red pepper flakes and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 15

Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream mixture.

Step 16

Mix the chicken broth with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.

Step 17

Add the chicken broth mixture to the skillet.

Step 18

Stir in the parsley, the basil, and the oregano.

Step 19

Bring the sauce to a simmer and scrape up the browned bits at the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.

Step 20

Simmer until the sauce has thickened, stirring often.

Step 21

Turn the heat to medium-low and push the potatoes to one side of the skillet.

Step 22

Stir in the parmesan cheese and cook until melted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 23

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 24

Add the chicken and heat until warmed through.

Step 25

Serve.
