Low Carb Creamy Balsamic Chicken With Sundried Tomatoes

369 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!

Recipe Steps

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!

      How can I reduce the total carbs in this recipe? I guess I’m not sure where the carbs come from, tomatoes mushrooms and half/half?

      Easy recipe. The flavor was decent, but the combined texture of chicken/dried tomatoes/mushrooms was not a favorite

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

            Type of milk- half cream half milk. Not quite as thick as cream

                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.

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