Ingredients

  • 2 (tablespoon) olive oil

    @Lorna, you can always thicken a sauce by either adding a thickening agent, such as cornstarch, or by reducing it over medium-high heat. If using the cornstarch method: make a slurry by stirring together a little cornstarch and some water (or chicken stock) and add it to your sauce. Bring it to a boil and it will thicken. OR you can thicken it by reducing it, i.e. evaporating the liquid by cooking it over medium to medium-high heat until it reduces. Be careful not to over-season if using the reduction method as it will intensify the flavor.

    I added diced carrot & green beans & sauteed them with onions & garlic to bulk it up, really nice. The chicken breasts were really moist & tender. very nice recipe.

    Good but it took me way longer to make, maybe I'm slower w 3 kids. But was very moist. Chicken not a ton of flavor, I'd season it more next time but really was good.

    The cooking time doesn't allow enough time for carmelizing the onions. This took much longer for me to make than the time indicated. Chicken was very moist and juicy. I didn't get much out of the sun-dried tomatoes though. I'd probably leave them out, maybe substitute something else if I made it again.

    Hi Judy! If you add a pinch of salt to the onions as they caramelize they will release water and will caramelize faster. Try this tip next time you make this to help in the cooking process.
