Method
- 1
Pat the boneless skinless chicken breasts thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with fine sea salt, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- 2
Warm the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken cutlets in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned and just cooked through, then transfer to a plate.
- 3
Turn the heat down to medium, add the minced garlic to the residual pan juices, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 4
Pour in the chicken broth and cherry tomato passata, stirring gently to scrape up any browned bits from the pan floor, and simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
- 5
Whisk the cubed raw cream cheese and dairy-free parmesan into the skillet over medium-low heat until fully melted into a luscious, smooth pink sauce, about 2 minutes.
- 6
Return the seared chicken cutlets and any accumulated juices to the pan, spooning the warm garlic cream sauce all over them, and simmer gently for 1 minute before removing from heat.
Store leftovers in an airtight container chilled for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a covered skillet over low heat with a spoonful of broth to keep the cream cheese sauce velvety smooth.
