Method

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Turn the heat down to medium, add the minced garlic to the residual pan juices, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. 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. 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. 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.

Tip

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.
