Keto High Protein Creamy Tomato Chicken
This creamy tomato chicken is an excellent addition to your Keto summer main dish recipes. Tender chicken breasts are generously coated with a creamy sauce made with sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and white wine for a wonderful, easy lunch or dinner option. You can also add some capers or sliced olives to the sauce for a delicious flavor everybody will love. We served this dish with shredded parmesan, but crumbled feta or fresh goat cheese would also work perfectly. Garnish everything with freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy while fresh and warm!
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cut the chicken breast into approximately 1.5cm thick (0.6 inch). Sprinkle with salt and black pepper on both sides and add to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set them aside.
Step 2
Add the butter to the same pan. Peel and finely chop the onion. Drain and finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Add the tomatoes, onions, and dried chives to the pan. Mix well and cook for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Finely chop the parsley. Add the heavy cream, wine, and parsley to the pan and mix well. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the pan and coat well with the sauce. Turn off the heat and cover. Let it sit for another 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Shred the parmesan cheese. Transfer the chicken to serving plates and sprinkle with shredded parmesan. Optionally, garnish with some freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
