You may or may not have seen the various takes on the "marry me chicken" dish. I have made several of them and they are all delicious. So of course I had to try this one. However I am not the biggest fan of the marry me name so I just use sun dried tomato in the name instead.
I like making chicken salad in the summer for lunch, because it is a great way to get some more protein in my diet and tastes delicious with my favorite crackers.
Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 32 ounces low sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
- 2 tablespoons oil from sun dried tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
- In a large skillet wide skillet, add in the chicken breasts. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Heat over medium-high heat.
- Once the broth comes to boil, cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes and then shred with two forks. Reserve the chicken broth.
- Transfer the chicken to a large bowl. Add in the mayonnaise, sour cream, sun dried tomatoes, sun dried tomato oil, basil, parmesan cheese, garlic powder and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- If desired, add in the chicken broth in 1 tablespoon increments until desired consistency and creaminess is reached.
