Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

Anyone else have a Halloween hangover this morning?  Halloween is one of our favorite nights.  I love seeing all of the kids in costume, almost as much as I love dressing my dog up in a Halloween costume every year.  (Mia loves dressing up like a lion, BTW) 🦁😂We usually set up camp on the front porch for the evening because quite honestly, I don't think that our doorbell could keep up with the volume of trick or treaters that come through our neighborhood every year.  You'd be surprised how long a thermos full of coffee, an overflowing bucket of candy and some adorable kids in costumes can keep me entertained.  

I don't know what Halloween night is like where you live, but around here, trick or treaters start ringing the doorbell before 6:00.  👻 I'm all for early trick or treating - especially on school nights - but it means that I have to have dinner prepped, cooked, eaten and cleaned up - all before 6:00 when the Halloween festivities begin.  The alternative is to just eat Halloween candy for dinner - we've done that too. ​  

This Chicken Cutlet dinner is perfect for busy nights like Halloween.  Don't be fooled by the short ingredient list or the simple 5 step process.  What this recipe lacks in procedure, it makes up for in big, bold flavor.  Sometimes, a simple chicken dinner can be just as elegant and decadent as a fancy steak dinner.

Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
1 pound chicken cutlets
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup slivered oil packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
​2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. 

Heat 1 T. oil from sun-dried tomato jar in skillet. Add chicken and cook through.  Transfer to a plate.

Add sun-dried tomatoes and onion and cook 1 minute.   

Add wine and cook until evaporated.  

​Stir in cream and chicken and simmer 2 minutes.  

Serve chicken with parsley and sauce.

Another great year of Halloween fun is in the books.  Now it's on to prepping for Thanksgiving dinner and watching Hallmark Christmas movies.  😂

​Ciao!
