Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the chicken: If using chicken breasts, slice them horizontally to create two thin cutlets. Season both sides of the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper.

Sear the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil from the sun-dried tomato jar in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through—about 4 minutes for breasts or 6 minutes for thighs. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.

Sauté aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 15 seconds until fragrant and lightly golden.

Deglaze the pan: Pour in the white wine. Bring to a simmer and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the skillet, releasing all the flavorful browned bits (fond). Let the wine simmer for about 1 minute until the alcohol smell has evaporated.

Build the sauce: Stir in the Dijon mustard, then add the chicken broth, heavy cream, shredded parmesan, and sun-dried tomatoes.
