Can you use chicken breast in this recipe?
Yes, you can make this recipe with chicken breast instead of chicken thighs. When using chicken breast, you can buy pre-cut chicken cutlets, which are usually about ¼ inch thick hence they cook faster compared to whole chicken breast, with about 2-3 minutes on each side. Alternatively, simply slice whole chicken breast horizontally to get chicken cutlets. If the chicken cutlets are more than ¼ inch thick and have an uneven thickness, pound them down using a meat mallet or with a small heavy-bottomed pan until they are even.
Can you meal prep this high-protein creamy sun-dried tomato chicken?
Yes. This high-protein creamy sun-dried tomato chicken recipe is great for meal prep. In fact, the longer the chicken is covered in the creamy sauce, the juicier and more delicious it becomes. To meal prep this recipe, allow the chicken to cool down once cooked. Then, transfer the chicken together with the sauce to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds or on the stovetop over medium heat. Feel free to add more heavy cream while reheating since the sauce thickens up when refrigerated.

Once the dish was plated it reminded us of Carrabba's Chicken Bryan, so added a little goat cheese. Wow was it good. WILL be making this again
