Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer, then return the chicken to the pot. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is fully tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until fully melted and creamy. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces directly in the pot. Adjust seasoning if needed, then let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve with crusty bread or a side salad.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth if the soup thickens too much.
- Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
- Don’t skip the sun-dried tomatoes—they add a sweet, tangy depth.
- Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-shredded.
