Seared chicken in a creamy sun-dried tomato and parmesan sauce with basil — the viral dinner that supposedly earns proposals.

Ingredients

• 150 g Chicken Breast
• 30 g Sun-dried Tomatoes
• 1 clove Garlic
• 100 ml Cream
• 20 g Parmesan
• 0.3 tsp Chili Flakes
• 3 g Fresh Basil

Method

1. Season and sear

   

   Season the chicken breast, then sear it in a large frying pan in a little oil from the sun-dried tomato jar over medium-high heat until deeply golden on both sides. Set aside on a plate.

2. Sizzle the aromatics

   

   In the same pan, briefly cook the sliced garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and chili flakes until fragrant — you'll smell the garlic the moment it's ready.

3. Pour in the cream

   

   Add the cream, scraping up the browned bits stuck to the pan, and bring to a gentle simmer — small bubbles around the edges, not a rolling boil.

4. Melt in the parmesan

   

   Stir the grated parmesan through the sauce until it thickens enough to coat a spoon.

5. Return the chicken

   

   Nestle the chicken back in with its juices and simmer gently until cooked through and the sauce hugs it — cut into the thickest part to check: the meat should be white all the way through, with no pink.

6. Finish with basil

   

   Tear the basil over the top and serve straight from the pan.
