Ingredients

Creamy Basil Chicken

  • 750g boneless chicken thighs - cut in half and seasoned with garlic salt and pepper
  • 15g butter
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 onion - finely diced
  • 2 roasted red peppers - sliced (I buy these in jars)
  • 4 cloves garlic - crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon each: paprika, chilli flakes
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups cream
  • 1 cup parmesan - grated
  • 1 cup basil leaves
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

Creamy Basil Chicken

  • Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan. Sear the chicken for 4 minutes each side - set aside.
  • To the same pan, add the onion, red pepper, garlic, paprika and chilli flakes. Sauté over a low heat for 4 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine until reduced by half.
  • Add in the cream and parmesan, simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
  • Stir through the basil leaves. Add in the chicken and any resting juices and heat through. Season with pepper.
