Ingredients:
- For the Chicken:
- 1 lb. chicken thighs 🍗
- 2 tablespoon Italian seasoning 🌿
- ½ teaspoon salt 🧂
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ⚫️
- For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
- 4 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
- ¼ cup California Sun Dry sun-dried tomatoes, sliced 🍅
- ¾ cup parmesan cheese, grated 🧀
- 1 cup milk of choice 🥛
- ½ cup water 💧

Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:
Start by mixing the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together. Spread this mixture onto a large plate, then coat each chicken thigh thoroughly with the seasoning. 🧂🍗
2️⃣ Sear the Chicken:
Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. If needed, add an extra tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet to prevent sticking. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet using kitchen tongs and set it aside. 🍳
3️⃣ Prepare the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the olive oil, minced garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, grated parmesan cheese, milk, and water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir the ingredients together until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is well combined. 🧄🧀🥛
4️⃣ Simmer and Combine:
Allow the sauce mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Then, return the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated in the sauce. Finish by garnishing with fresh basil. 🌿
5️⃣ Serve:
Your Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Skillet is now ready to serve! Plate up and enjoy the rich flavors of this delightful dish. 😋
