Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

This was a hit with the family. Even my picky son and husband who hates tomatoes gulped it down. I used some spring onions from the garden but since it's still winter I could only get a few. Used finely chopped yellow onion to make up the difference. If you really want to make this even richer, sprinkle on some crispy bacon pieces. I cooked a frozen bag over zoodles to serve it over. It was filling and probably around 450 calories. I call that a WIN!

Yum!! At the advice of the comments I went ahead and doubled the tomato and cream, but I used white wine vinegar instead of white wine because we don’t keep alcohol at our house. I brined my chicken before cooking: 1/4 cup salt dissolved into 4 cups of water, soak chicken for 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Then season as indicated. It makes such a huge difference in keeping the chicken moist. I also incorporated two cups of spinach and two bags of zoodles. Packed with nutrients and delicious!

This was absolutely phenomenal!! The only change I made was to make some whole wheat spaghetti and mix it in at the very end. I can’t wait to make this again!

I made this recipe exactly as is and it turned out perfect. For the wine I used an inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc that I picked up at Trader Joe’s. For the sun-dried tomatoes, I used Star sun dried tomatoes in oil, julienne cut. I like the Star sun-dried tomatoes because they use sunflower oil. A lot of other companies use canola oil and canola oil has a funny taste to me.

Absolutely delicious my family enjoyed this meal very much so much flavor. Definitely will be making this again didn't change a thing no need to! Thank you for sharing

This recipe was super easy and super flavorful and delicious!! I will definitely add this to our menu rotation. The only thing is I would like more sauce than what this recipe creates, I’ll double the wine & cream and sun dried tomatoes next time. We ate this over orzo and it was perfect!

This is absolutely delicious! Didn't change a thing

I found this recipe to be good. Quick easy weeknight meal.

This is a decent basic recipe. I tweaked the recipe by adding baby spinach, 2 cloves of garlic, and a splash of additional heavy cream. Served over zucchini noodles with a sprinkling of grated parmesan.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I make it often. The only thing I do different from the instructions is use half of the sun dried tomatoes that the recipe calls for. Bonus points is that it’s a super easy recipe but tastes like it took a long time to cook.

This was an easy meal that tasted great. I did make some changes by adding two minced garlic cloves, 1 Tblsp of pickled jalpenos, chopped spinach, 1/4 cup of chicken broth, 1 Tblsp of Italian Seasoning. Good stuff

Few studies have thoroughly examined the simultaneous effects of late eating on the three key players in body weight regulation and, consequently, obesity risk: regulation of calorie intake, the amount of calories you burn, and molecular changes in fat tissue. Popular healthy diet mantras discourage midnight snacking, but few studies have thoroughly investigated the simultaneous effects of late eating on these three players. A recent study offers experimental proof that eating later results in decreased energy expenditure, increased appetite, and modifications to fat tissue, all of which may raise the risk of obesity.

Simple and delicious. I think the wine, shallots and especially the sundried tomatoes makes this taste like a gourmet meal. Would definitely make again. Thanks!

I overcooked my chicken breasts (of course). Would make with strips instead of full breasts next time, or perhaps boneless thighs. Easy and delicious!

I’m

I totally concur with the other 5 stars. This was Heavenly!! I made it for lunch today served over quinoa. Subsequent to completing I promptly sent a companion the connection. This is the best recipe yet I've attempted from Eating Great.

This recipe is great! I made it and it came out delicious. Thank you!

This recipe is so easy and delicious!

It’s very good. Loving it to the last drop of the sauce!

I was surprised to see this recipe as the first on Eating Well's list of healthy recipes. There are no vegetables, no fiber, and almost 9 grams of saturated fat! Let's work on producing well-rounded healthy meals.

I doubled the sauce, added some whipped butter to the sauce, and used fat free half and half. Served with steamed green beans. Loved it!

It was okay. Not much taste, very oily.

Recipe was good! I did make one change. For all those looking for a low fat substitution for Heavy cream or Half and Half-I use Carnation Evaporated Low-fat 2%milk in all my recipes and they turn out perfect! It reduces fat and Carbs.

I made this for my husband tonight he enjoyed it. I am a vegetarian. I did try the sauce. The sun dried tomatoes are very oily tasting so I let some of the oil drain on a paper towel before I added them to the pan. I did add sauteed mushrooms and a handful of spinach to the sauce and a little bit of Chicken flavor Better than bouillon. I'll make it again

I doubled the sauce as others suggested, added a handful of spinach and served it over linguine. The flavor was good, but tasted heavily of cream and the sundried tomatoes had not mellowed in texture or flavor. I wonder if there is a way to cut back on the cream (and fat) by using a seasoned broth, letting it simmer enough to soften the tomatoes and then adding a BIT of cream. Just a thought.

Made it according to the recipe and it came out great! Only dicey thing was chopping up the sun dried tomatoes, they have a tendency to turn into mush. After carefully slicing and dicing the tomatoes, it was very easy. Took under 30 minutes to make and was a real crowd pleaser.

I made this exactly as written and served it over 1/ 2 cup of orzo with steamed broccoli on the side. It was delicious! We are not usually big fans of sun dried tomatoes, but this may have converted us. It will be on the regular rotation for sure! Simple and fast to throw together with pantry ingredients.

This recipe was fabulous! We served with asparagus cooked the the cream sauce … a huge hit.

This is fabulous, one of go-to recipes and I make it at least twice a month. Even my pickiest eater loves it. I love that it's relatively low cal but tastes so rich! YUM! Definite winner in my house, and I make it exactly as written.

This was fantastic!!! I ended up doubling the amount of heavy cream and added in skillet gnocchi and it was perfection.

This is such a great recipe! It’s easy to make and is so delicious!!!

Recipe was fast and easy. I would make again, but I used whole chicken breasts and they were not as fast to cook as cutlets would have been. Pretty sure, not quite as good. I recommend using thin chicken pieces.

I tried this for the first time tonight and it was delicious!
I doubled the sauce as people have suggested, and added spinach and some garlic and it was excellent.

@judygoldin - Use an equal amount of chicken stock and a 1/2 tablespoon (or more to taste) of white wine or rice wine vinegar to replace the white wine. It won't taste exactly the same, but you'll still get a nice depth of flavor and some acidity.

I absolutely loved this recipe. It was easy to make on a weeknight. I could live on the sauce alone! It is so simple to put your own spin on it..

My tweaks and suggestions.

1. Make sure to use a good wine, that adds a lot to flavor I like a Sauvignon Blanc or Viognier. (I increased to 3/4 cups and let reduce)
2. I added two large cloves crushed garlic
3. I added two tablespoons of julienned fresh basil
4. I like others went without pasta but added two cups broccoli florets.

Very tasty!

I have a problem. I don't use wine.
What should I use instead. The recipe looks lovely.

We love it. First time cooking with sun dried tomatoes. We used more onion and cream than it called for. The flavor was fantastic. Will be mak6it again.

Excellent basis for a great meal did my usual, added some spinach a little fresh parm and some prosciutto.
Served it over penne, will definitely have
it again.

This recipe was simply delicious, as well as easy!

I absolutely love this recipe. I made some minor tweaks - but I appreciate that this can be for low sodium diets. (not me).
Like others, I increased the sauce. Also added garlic, crushed red pepper and oregano.
I served this with sauteed zucchini.
No carbs - just this and a veggie.
IT WAS AMAZING!!! This will definitely become part of m regular menu items. Thank you so much for posting this. It's grand!

This recipe was absolutely fantastic! It was way better than I expected and very easy to make! It's the first meal I made since having a go on a low sodium, low carb diet and it made me feel really optimistic about staying on it! Definitely try this it is so easy to make! Even my kids liked it I just put pasta under theirs!

This is very tasty and so easy to make! I had to julienne the dried tomatoes but that’s no big deal! They are what makes the dish!

I make this recipe regularly for my family of 3. I double the sauce and serve over pasta. It’s a family favorite!

Great meal! always a family favorite

this was the worst thing i have ever tried and also it may look good but its gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was absolutely delicious! I didn’t have any white cooking wine so I substituted cooking sherry. Served with couscous and sautéed mushrooms. Very decadent!

I made this with thin pork chops and added mushrooms — so amazing! Can’t wait for leftovers and to make it again. Served it with sautéed spinach and crusty bread

I made this for the second time tonight and it was a big hit again. I usually double the sauce in my cooking, so I agree with others that it's the way to go. The only change I made was to add some fresh basil chiffonade to the sauce at the very end of cooking, and also used that as the garnish instead of parsley. Very tasty and simple recipe.

If you are thinking about making this, DO IT! This recipe is extremely tasty and full of flavor. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I loved this recipe!

This is so tasty! So much flavor and easy to make, and makes good leftovers, too.

Very good recipe. I substituted half and half for the heavy cream to lighten it up just a bit, but still delicious.

I made this recipe as written and it was very good. I agree with other reviewers that additional sauce would be nice. I served it with riced cauliflower as a healthy alternative to rice or other grains and additional sauce would have been a nice boost. I might add minced garlic next time I make the dish since we love garlic. My spouse said "It's a keeper"; that's the seal of approval around here! :)

I made this recipe as printed and it was fabulous! It was quick to prepare on a busy night but really has high-end restaurant presentation & taste. It was so good I prepared it for friends to enjoy the next day

Followed the recipe exactly (with exception of measuring salt/pepper, I just put in what I think is enough) it turned out great everyone loved it but as many others have said, there was too little sauce. I plan on doubling it next time and adding mushrooms as others have suggested. Excellent Dish!

This was so delicious. Will make again!

Great recipe. Easy to make, low calorie, lots of flavor. We serve over a small 1 serving bed of whole wheat linguini pasta.

My whole family loves this. I double the sauce portion, cut the cooked chicken into thin strips, and serve it over fettuccini.

So easy and yummy. Thank you

MY lord, I made this as described and this was by far the best thing I have eaten in years. I even forgot the parsley but added rosemary in the final minute. Served over a 1/2 cup of rice (2 servings) and was mouthwatering goodness. Yes I had a little 420 before hand but .. this was perfect!!!!

This recipe was sooo easy and quick!! I didn’t want to shop so I used chicken sausage I had on hand. My husband loved it! I will make this again using the cutlets next time. Thank you.

Made it and it looked exactly like the picture. Easy and quick to make. Very filling. Substituted chicken broth for the white wine. Next time I might add spinach to increase the veggie content.

Wow, this was deeeelish! I made it almost exactly per the recipe, except for more sauce (very glad I did that), a sprinkle of crushed red pepper & then a little grated parmesan when serving. I made broccoli rabe to go along with it. Very very yummy! I've saved this to my recipe app because I'll definitely be making it again!

Delicious. I added a spoon of Grey Poupon and used fresh basil instead of parsley.

We loved this recipe, including my 17 yr old son. I was skeptical as I did not think I was a sun dried tomato kind of person but I was surprised. We usually vote on new recipes to make or not make and this was voted make again without hesitation. I made no ingredient changes other than adding a bit more of all the liquids to have more sauce to go over egg noodles and added nothing new, mushrooms maybe next time as others have.

This was great! We doubled the sauce as suggested by others. There was plenty to go over a side of pasta.

This was amazing! I had enough sundried tomatoes to make one and a half times the sauce. I'm definitely going to double it next time. Everyone loved it! Made it with chicken stock instead of wine because we had a young child eating it, and it turned out fabulous!

Made it with gingerale instead of white wine as my husband is not a wine drinker and it tasted great, did not miss the wine!

Made this exactly as written except I doubled the sauce and I added mushrooms, as suggested by someone.... the results were a restaurant quality dinner... Absolutely Fabulous!! Will definitely be making again and again...wow!!

A. MAZ. ING. Whole family loved it which is rare! I did double the sauce as others suggested and so glad I did. I also used as much of the sundried tomato oil as I could get out of the jar to cook the chicken as 1 tablespoon seemed far too little for my big pan. Served with brown rice that went well with the sauce. Definitely adding this to the regular dinner rotation!

This is a weekly staple in my house now! Also added mushroom!

This recipe is so easy and quick! It is delicious! It will become one of my go to protein dishes on a regular basis. You will not be disappointed if you like sun dried tomatoes and a delicious cream sauce.

Delicious!! I used chicken thigh instead of chicken cutlet just because that was what I had in the fridge and it was amazing. I added a cup of radiator pasta noodles in as well to get in my carbs Easy clean up too since everything happened in the same pan. I made an account just to leave this review, lol. Really delicious!

Turns out exactly like the picture! Super delicious and easy to make.

I substituted the white wine for half white vinegar and half lemon juice and it came out amazinggggg!!! Everyone should try this.

The whole family love this.

Everyone loved this dish. Doubled the sauce ingredients, prepared six breasts. We like to have extra sauce, good thing as the sauce was delicious. Served with pasta and vegetables on the side. Will definitely make this again!

This was delicious and I made it exactly as written. The cutlets were a little tough, so next time I may try using thicker chicken breasts and cook them slower so they are more tender. The sauce was very rich - but delicious. I served over rice and steamed broccoli.

My family loved it. Made exactly as directed. Will double the sauce ingredients next time. May also try chicken breasts next time as the cutlets were a little dry.

Wonderful wonderful Dish! I made this as written. I do agree with others that more sauce would be better if you are going to use over rice or noodles. The sauce was not bland at all. I never measure pepper and added to what I thought was right and cooked the sauce a little longer. I mistakenly bought sweet Riesling wine instead of chardonay. The dish did not come across sweet at all. Next time I will add mushrooms.

Added mushrooms and served with string beans and pasta. DELICIOUS!

I completely agree with the other 5 stars. This was DELICIOUS!! I made it for lunch today served over quinoa. After finishing I immediately sent a friend the link. This is the best recipe yet I've tried from Eating Well.

We made this and everyone loved it! We served it over brown rice with peas and a side of sautéed veggies. Only change would be to make more sauce because everyone loved it!

This is one of the best things I’ve ever made. I used more wine and more cream to make more sauce and I’m glad I did. The whole family loved it.

Just made this exactly written and it was delicious! I’ll definitely make it again and serve to guests!

Excellent. I used half and half in place of the heavy cream and am considering adding chopped bacon the next time I make it.

Very rich & flavorful, especially for being so easy. I also added mushrooms and spinach to up the veggies and make it a 1 dish meal.

This was delicious! Easy to make, and very developed and rich flavor.

I really enjoyed this dish. Very simple and quick to make, minimum of ingredients. The taste was very complex and rich without being overly heavy.
