Steps
Season breasts with salt & pepper and cook over med-high heat in olive oil, on both sides until golden and cooked through (about 5-8 minutes on each side). Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic. Sauté until lightly browned (1-2 min) and then whisk in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers, scraping up bits from the pan. Let the sauce simmer over medium-low heat for 10-15 min to reduce in size by about half the amount.
When the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until it melts, then add in the cream. Heat through the back on the heat for about 30 seconds, then remove completely from the heat. Add the chicken breasts to coat in the sauce and serve.
Tip: Use 1-2 tbsp of the sun-dried tomato oil for some of the olive oil for extra flavor.

Jina Schubert on 2021-10-27 (5 stars): In my small town in Louisiana I couldn’t find sun-dried tomatoes. It worked well without them. I added 1 TBS of pesto instead and 1 TBS lemon zest. Thanks for this amazing recipe!
Heidi Munsee on 2021-03-17 (5 stars): Another hit! This is my “go to” website for recipes! I added some Italian cheese to the sauce, it off sets some of the tanginess. Yum!
Crystal on 2020-12-28 (5 stars): I've made this a million times for my husband and I. I only use two chicken breasts but keep the sauce amount. I use the dried smoked sundried tomatoes not in the jar but in a bag. The smoke flavor from them makes it divine. Thanks for the recipe!!!!!!
Vera on 2020-12-21 (5 stars): Hi Alyona,
I made this dish twice in the last 2 weeks, it is so unexpectedly delicious. The entire family, kids and adults loved this dish. I doubled the sauce and so happy I did because we ate it by spoonfuls. We never tried food that included capers so this is totally new to us, its like whole nother level of food we never explored. My husband and I couldn't get over how capers made this dish taste so so so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing recipes and I hope to see more recipes with capers😉
Btw I am new here but I want to compliment your website, it is so well organized!! So easy to get around, get inspired and find recipes. But most importantly all the recipes are 100% to my tastebuds, everything I made was incredibly delicious. I am telling my friends and family about you. Again, thank you and God bless you.
