Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, or more to taste, diced

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add to hot oil. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook until browned, about 4 minutes more. Remove chicken to a plate.

  2. Add onion, garlic, and thyme leaves to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Stir in flour; mix until combined. Add broth and sun-dried tomatoes. Return chicken to the skillet and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook's Note:

Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, if desired.
