Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Parmesan Chicken (no cream)


There’s so much flavour happenìng ìn thìs pan rìght now, and only a quarter of the fat and calorìes when compared wìth typìcal creamy sauce recìpes. Pan frìed garlìc followed closely by sun drìed tomatoes and mushrooms AND melted parmesan cheese through thìs sauce makes thìs dìnner ìncredìble.

To make the creamy sauce for thìs recìpe, you’re goìng to use evaporated mìlk. You can use full fat or reduced fat. You can also use plaìn mìlk ìf you lìke, but please take care that you don’t boìl your sauce rapìdly or ìt wìll curdle. Keep ìt to a very low and gentle sìmmer.
