Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
Use a Good Quality Skillet: A good quality skillet will help you get a nice even sear on your chicken and prevent it from sticking.
Don't Crowd the Skillet: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
Season the Chicken Generously: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
Use Good Quality Sun-Dried Tomatoes: The quality of the sun-dried tomatoes you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Look for sun-dried tomatoes that are plump and have a deep red color.
Simmer the Sauce: Simmer the sun-dried tomato sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as basil, oregano, or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Skillet chicken with sun-dried tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and fresh herbs makes this dish a surefire hit. Serve it over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish and enjoy!
