Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Chicken

A creamy Italian style chicken dish that can be served with your favourite steamed greens or even some rice but is awesome just on its own. Delish!

Tip: We used the Sunny Fruit sun-dried tomatoes for this dish which are quite soft and pliable. Sandhurst, available from leading grocery stores make a similar type but you could also use any that come in a jar, just drain first.
