  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For roasting: 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper for onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sliced onions with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until caramelized.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and dried basil. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and simmer until reduced by half.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Return chicken to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes to coat in sauce.
  5. Serve chicken topped with roasted onions and spoon over the creamy balsamic sauce.
