Looking for an idea for a delicious dinner that looks impressive yet is easy to prepare? This chicken fillet dish with sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella combines tender meat, melted cheese, and a delicate cream sauce infused with a rich tomato flavor.
Ingredients
For 4 servings:
600 g chicken fillet
60 g sun-dried tomatoes
125 g mozzarella
200 ml cooking cream
2 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
100 ml chicken broth
1 tsp dried basil
½ tsp oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh basil for serving
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients. If the sun-dried tomatoes are tough, soak them in warm water for 15–20 minutes, then drain and chop them. Cut the chicken fillets into four roughly equal portions.
Sear the meat. Season the fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat the olive oil and fry the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Prepare the sauce. Remove the meat from the pan. In the same pan, add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, broth, cream, basil, and oregano. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes.
Finish the dish. Return the chicken to the sauce, cover, and cook over low heat for about 8–12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Add the mozzarella. Spread it over the meat and cover for another 2–3 minutes, until melted. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 74°C.
Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Tip for perfect flavor
Use our sun-dried tomatoes with no added salt so you can control the saltiness of the sauce yourself—especially when adding mozzarella and broth.
