This one-pot creamy sun-dried tomato chicken is quick, hearty, and full of flavor. Tender chicken breasts are pan-seared until golden brown, then simmered in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. Serve it with pasta, potatoes, or crusty bread for an easy and delicious meal that’s ready in just 30 minutes

I love bringing sun-dried tomatoes back into the spotlight with this cozy, Italian-style chicken dish. Tender chicken breasts cook in a creamy sauce packed with bold sun-dried tomato flavor, garlic, and Italian seasoning , making it feel rich and comforting without being complicated.

I lightly coat the chicken in flour to ensure it browns nicely, then simmer it in a sauce made with chicken broth, cream, and plenty of chopped sun-dried tomatoes. A handful of spinach gets stirred in at the end, wilting perfectly into the sauce and adding a fresh contrast to all that richness.

This is an easy one-pan meal that works just as well for busy weeknights as it does for serving guests. I like pairing it with mashed potatoes , pasta, or crusty bread to soak up every bit of the sauce. It’s simple, satisfying, and the cleanup couldn’t be easier.

Variations to try

Don’t get me wrong, this dish is incredibly delicious as-is but here are some ways we like to add even more flavor:

  • Top with an added sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like fresh basil or oregano
  • Add a bit of heat to the sauce by adding a teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes

What to serve with creamy sun-dried tomato chicken
