Low Carb Creamy Balsamic Chicken With Sundried Tomatoes

367 ratings

I love the flavor contrasts in this dish. The sauce is very creamy, but the sun-dried tomatoes give a tart bite! The basil gives such a fresh note and the mushrooms are so meaty in flavor! Not to mention the smoked paprika ties the dish all together with a nice smoky note. This will easily become a go-to dish...it is made in one pan!

steps 7

40 min

  • Step 1

    Prep all ingredients by slicing mushrooms, grating cheese etc. as well as measuring out spices and liquids.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally. Mix the smoked paprika, onion powder and salt and pepper (add these to taste). Sprinkle this mixture on both sides of the chicken.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    In a heavy bottomed pan, heat pan until very hot, then add half of the avocado oil. Add the chicken and sear on each side. This should be about 4-5 minutes on the first side and 2-3 minutes on the second side. Cook the chicken completely through. Remove chicken to a clean plate.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Add the other half of the avocado oil to the hot pan. Add the garlic and sliced sun-dried tomatoes.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes until nicely browned. Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar, scraping the pan to remove the browned bits.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Add the half and half and parmesan cheese and simmer for 1 minute. Add the cooked chicken back in and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce it to a sauce consistency.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Top with fresh, julienned basil and serve hot!

        A dairy product with 1/2 milk and 1/2 cream. You find it in the milk section of your grocery store.

            This was incredible! I doubled the mushrooms & used cream. I also used jarred roasted capsicum instead of tomatoes. It was delicious.

                      Made this for the first time today. It was delicious! I do not like mushrooms, so I cooked the recipe without and then ate the meal with a cup of fresh spinach. Soooo tasty. Definitely will become a staple go to meal for us.

                        Super good! But I had to substitute some things haha. I used roasted red bell peppers instead of sundried tomatoes. I didn’t have balsamic vinegar, so I used 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar with 1 teaspoon monkfruit. I also added 1/2 cup of heavy cream to thicken the sauce a little more. Yum!

                          Oh my goodness, we loved this dish. My husband had it with basmati rice. I will definitely make it again, but next time I will use larger breasts (I used smaller ones today and I’m still hungry!!)

                                        This dish was amazing! I substituted seared red peppers and added Rosemary and it was like I was in another country enjoying a five-star meal! Will definitely make again.

                                          Try Chunks of egg plant instead of mushrooms

                                                Very good! Next time I will cut the chicken into tenders instead of just halves. I also added an extra garlic clove.

                                                  My husband is allergic to mushrooms, any suggestions for a substitute?

                                                    Fresh Spinach may be a tasty substitute

                                                    I made it without mushrooms and it was tasty!

                                                  This is excellent. Tons of flavor. I used heavy cream instead of half and half because that's what I had. My husband liked it so much he told me I should make this weekly.

                                                    I made this tonight! I did change a few things, I am just starting back up on Keto so I used heavy cream over half and half. Depending on the size of the mushrooms you use add them with the garlic before the sun dried tomatoes. This would be amazing over spaghetti squash.
