Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs, cut into cubes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
- Served with rice & green beans
Instructions
- Place the cubed chicken into a large bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Preheat a large pan to medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until fully cooked.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- To deglaze the pan, keep it at medium-high temperature and add minced garlic and chicken stock. Stir well with a wooden spoon to scrape off all the bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Next, add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, chopped sundried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, thyme, and oregano. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Bring to a boil and then lower the temp to a simmer. Simmer for 3-5 minutes on low until the sauce thickens.
- Once it's thickened, add the cooked chicken and mix until the chicken is well coated in the sauce.
- Serve immediately over rice with your favorite vegetable and a sprinkle of freshly chopped basil on top. Enjoy!
