Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Chicken

Creamy sun-dried tomato chicken is a quick, easy one pan recipe with a delicious sauce that will have you licking your fingers! Best served with pasta, brown rice or quinoa.

This recipe is one of our favorite dinners, and every time I make it the family can’t get enough. What’s not to love about chicken thighs and sun-dried tomatoes in the most delicious, creamy, garlicky sauce? I don’t even need anything on the side because that sauce is enough to make me lick the pan clean!

This is a really easy, one pan recipe which makes us love this even more because who doesn’t like easy cleanup?! And because the list of ingredients is so small, this creamy sun dried tomato chicken doesn’t need a ton of planning. As long as you have some sun dried tomatoes in olive oil and chicken lying around, you are good to go.

• Chicken Options:

  We love this recipe with bone-in chicken thighs, but you can always use chicken breasts. It is always more flavorful with the bone-in, but you can also use boneless.

• Sun Dried Tomatoes:

  We are using a lot of sun dried tomatoes in this recipe because when they simmer in this sauce, they become really soft and the juices from them are what makes this sauce so delicious. Make sure to use sun dried tomatoes out of a jar or can with oil.

• Serving Suggestions:

  I love serving this creamy sun dried tomato chicken with sauteed brown sugar bacon green beans and slow cooker mashed potatoes or you can just go ahead and serve this with pasta. It really just depends on your mood!
