- 2 Tbsp Shallot – Finely Diced
- 1 1/2 tsp Fresh Thyme – Finely Chopped

Set oven at 425 degrees. Heat skillet, add 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and brown both sides of the chicken breast on Med-Hi heat.
Next, place the chicken breasts in the oven and roast for 30 minutes or until 160 degrees…
Take the chicken breasts out and let rest until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, about 5-10 minutes.
While chicken is resting, heat skillet on Med heat and saute’ shallots in the pan drippings from the roasted chicken for 5 minutes.
Next add sun dried tomatoes and fresh Thyme and saute’ for 3 minutes.
De-glaze with white wine and reduce by half. Feel free to use any white wine you have, I prefer Chardonnay for this dish, but any will do.
Take Pesto and add to the sauce, stir and take off heat.
