Chicken Milano is a restaurant quality dish that is simple to make and sure to impress.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ Tablespoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (See Tip 1)
- 1 cup (8 ounces) chicken broth (See Tip 2)
- 1 cup (8 ounces) heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 8 ounces dry pasta, cooked al dente according to package directions

Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts horizontally in half. Place between pieces of plastic wrap and pound to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Combine flour, salt and pepper in gallon Ziploc bag. Add chicken and shake to coat.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, a few pieces at a time. Cook several minutes on each side until golden brown Remove and drain on paper towels. Cook remaining chicken; drain on paper towels.
- Add minced garlic to same skillet used to cook chicken; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sun-dried tomatoes; stir to combine. Add chicken broth and cream; stir to combine. Add dried basil; cook mixture over medium heat for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, if sauce needs additional thickening, add a small amount of a slurry made with corn starch and chicken broth to achieve desired thickening. Correct seasonings.
- Return chicken to sauce; heat for several minutes to ensure that chicken is hot. Garnish with minced basil or parsley. Serve over pasta..
- Yield: 4 servings. (See Tip 3)
Tips/Notes
- Use dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes rather than sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.
- I used low sodium chicken broth.
- This makes excellent leftovers. Generally, I heat the chicken for several minutes in the microwave before serving.
