Instructions

Peel and chop garlic and onion. Finely slice sun dried tomatoes and finely grate Parmesan.
2 cloves garlic, 1 brown onion, ¼ cup sundried tomatoes in oil, 80 g parmesan
In a bowl mix cornflour, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper (opt).
Slice chicken in half or thirds lengthwise then add to the bowl and turn to coat with flour mixture.
2 tablespoon cornflour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, Salt and pepper, 2-3 chicken breast
Heat a pan on medium-high heat. Pour 2 tablespoon oil from the sun dried tomatoes into the pan, then cook chicken for 2-3 minutes each side. Once cooked, remove to a plate.
Oil from sundried tomatoes
Add a splash of water (or white wine, even better) to the pan and deglaze it - that will melt the chicken residue into a lovely liquid. Add a little more tomato oil (about 2 tsp), lower heat to medium, then add garlic and onion and saute for 2-3 minutes, until soft.
