Creamy Sundried Tomato Chicken Recipe
Sundried tomatoes are SO underrated.
They’re chewy, tart, slightly sweet and totally addicting.
This chicken is swimming in a creamy (but cream-less) sauce flavored with garlic, onions, fresh basil and you guessed it — sundried tomatoes!
My mom tells me sundried tomatoes were HOT in the 80s but might have been almost too popular in recipes that they might have burnt out. Well I’m here to bring them back to the spotlight!!!!! *queue the picket signs!*
This recipe is:
- Packed with flavor
- Keto friendly
- Low carb
- Made in one pan
- Ready in less than 30 minutes!
If you’re not dairy-free you can add in a little parmesan to the sauce for even more creaminess!
Here’s how you’ll make the chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts, then brown them on both sides in the skillet.
- Try not to move the chicken around so you get a nice golden crust!
- Sauté the onions, garlic and sundried tomatoes.
- Whisk in the almond milk and bring to a simmer.
- Add the chicken back to cook through!
TIPS FOR MAKING CREAMY SUNDRIED TOMATO CHICKEN
- Bring the chicken to room temperature before browning to lessen oil splatters in the pan.
- You can easily swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs – they’ll just cook a little longer in the sauce before serving.
- No almond milk? No problem! You can use coconut milk, cashew milk or dairy milk if it’s nonirritating.
I can’t wait for you to taste this juicy, creamy, flavorful chicken!

I love this recipe and to even add a little extra flavor I add a little white wine and chicken broth to the pan before thickening. This recipe is my favorite of the ones I’ve tried…. and my family loves it as well!!!
Thank you so much Bob! Love the idea of deglazing with white wine. YUM!
