These chicken fillets in a creamy tomato sauce look fancy but are super easy to make. This dish is as simple as it is satisfying and delicious. The sauce is ultra creamy and loaded with tomatoes, jazzed up with feta and crispy pancetta. 
Serve over orzo or with some crusty bread and a side salad. Extra bonus? It’s ready in about 30 minutes and made in only one skillet.

Creamy Tomato Chicken with Feta

This one-skillet meal has it all, tons of flavor and a divine sauce. The sun-dried tomatoes do double duty for this recipe since we also use their flavorful oil to sear the chicken and sauté the garlic with the cherry tomatoes.

We finish the whole dish off with crumbled feta to cut the creaminess and give it a complex flavor. A handful of crispy pancetta definitely seals the deal.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

RECIPE NOTES

  • you can use boneless/skinless chicken thighs instead of breast fillets

  • add mushrooms, spinach, peas or string beans
  • if you’re not a feta fan, use halloumi or mozzarella for a milder taste

Ingredients 
 

  • 4 chicken fillets
  • 3.5 ounces pancetta
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves - minced
  • 1 small onion - finely chopped
  • 4.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes - drained, oil reserved
  • 7 ounces cherry tomatoes - cut in half
  • ¼ cup dry white wine

  • 3.5 ounces crumbled feta
  • 3 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions 

  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove, leaving the oil in the pan and set aside.
  • Season the chicken fillets all over with sweet paprika powder, salt and pepper.

  • Add sun-dried tomatoes and cream. Stir to combine. Add chicken back into the skillet. Crumble the feta among the chicken. Allow to simmer for 5 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  • Serve topped with parsley and crispy pancetta. Sprinkle with some red pepper flakes and enjoy!

    This is beyond a doubt one of the best and easiest chicken recipes I have made, easily suitable for a weekday dinner. I added white mushrooms, which I think went very well with the dish. I used 1/2 of a red onion, because I had one to use. But next time I am going to try shallots…because…shallots

    1. Thank you Paul! So glad you enjoyed!

    Stumbled upon this recipe and so happy I did, so tasty. Used home grown cherry tomatoes, so full of flavour. Added some green beans,in the final minutes, great addition, without using another saucepan. Enjoyed it served on Pearl cous cous

    There is a mistake in this recipe. 50 ml (for the white wine) is 1/4 cup not 3/4 cup.

    1. Hi, so sorry for the confusion, the recipe is fixed. Happy cooking!

    This was super delicious (definitely took me more than 30mins with prep and all, but it’s worth it). Will definitely make it again. Thanks for the recipe- always looking for delicious chicken recipes!

    Made this tonight and it was delicious. Followed recipe, pounded the chicken to a consistent thickness (my family prefers a thinner chicken breast) and chopped up the Sun-dried tomatoes (didn’t see this specified in recipe). Served with orzo and toast (didn’t have crusty bread on hand but that would have been perfect). Will make this again, thanks for the great recipe!
