- 50 g parmesan/hard cheese, finely grated (£1.75/3=(£0.58)

- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp sun-dried tomato oil from jar
- 400 ml chicken stock
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp thyme
- Salt & Pepper
Serve with rice
Instructions
- Dredge the chicken breast in flour and shake the excess off. To a large stainless steel pan, add the sun-dried tomato oil.
- Preheat the pan to a high heat, then add the chicken breasts. Leave to fry for 3 minutes, then rotate and fry for a further 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Deglaze the pan with a splash of chicken stock to get all of the crispy bits off of the bottom of the pan. Add the onion and sun-dried tomatoes and reduce the heat to medium/low. Season with salt and lots of pepper and fry for 5 minutes.
- Next, add the garlic, paprika and thyme into the pan. Fry for a couple of minutes before adding the cream, hard cheese/parmesan, vinegar and stock.
- Place the chicken back into the pan to cook for a further 7 minutes. Serve with fresh basil and a crack of black pepper (enter proposal)!!
Notes
- Pound the chicken breasts for quicker cooking: Flatten the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or rolling pin to achieve thinner pieces, ensuring faster cooking times.
- Consider using chicken thighs instead of breasts to save on costs and maintain affordability.
- Enhance the flavour by seasoning chicken with salt and pepper before searing, but be cautious not to oversalt.
