  • Remove chicken and set aside, cover with foil to keep warm
  • In the same pot add 1 tablespoon butter. Add the shallot and garlic and fry until shallot is translucent
  • Add the Italian herbs, paprika, chilli flakes and the chicken stock. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, cream and parmesan cheese. Bring to a gentle simmer
  • Place the chicken back into the pot and bring the sauce to a boil, just a couple of minutes.
