Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and melt the butter over medium heat. Swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Cook the Chicken:

Make the Sauce:

- Add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom.
- Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, chili flakes, oregano, and thyme. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it begins to thicken.
Combine
- Return the chicken to the skillet, adding the sun-dried tomatoes.
- Let everything simmer together for a few more minutes until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is creamy.
Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves.
- Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked pasta or your choice of side.
