A delicious one-pan dinner of pan-fried chicken breast in a creamy tomato sauce made with tinned cherry tomatoes, dried herbs and mascarpone.
Chicken in tomato sauce with mascarpone, Parmesan and herbs — very easy to make and a big hit with children and adults alike. The mascarpone can be swapped for cream, or a lighter alternative such as a low-fat cooking cream.
If you prefer chopped tomatoes, they work just as well in the creamy tomato sauce.
Serve the pan-fried chicken in creamy tomato sauce with your favourite pasta, a bowl of rice, mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes. A salad on the side is a good idea — a crisp green salad, a panzanella or similar.

Hej Dianna.
Jeg har ikke prøvet retten før, men har lyst til at prøve kyllingelever.
Kan man mon erstatte kyllingebrystet – helt eller delvist – med kyllingelever? Hvad tænker du?
På forhånd tak
Hej Louise
Åhhh det har jeg desværre ikke forsøgt mig med, altså sådan generelt, så det tør jeg ikke svare på:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Den skal serveres til mine gæster næste gang, det smagte bare himmelsk .
Kan varmt anbefales
Hej Lotte
Det var da en dejlig besked at modtage, tusind tak 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Enkel og meget velsmagende. Manglede efter min smag lige et syrligt tvist. Da jeg var løbet tør for vineddike, satsede jeg et skud fiskesovs. Og perfektion!
Hej Liza
Tusind tak for din besked, det er så dejligt at høre 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan man bruge friske cherrytomater i stedet? Og hvor mange hvis det er? Har lige fået så mange af min svigerfar og forsøger at få dem alle brugt 🙂
Hej Maria
Det kan du sagtens 🙂
Jeg ville gå med 4-500 gram friske tomater, skåret i halve:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Min søn på 17 serverede denne ret glutenfri i aften, det var mega lækkert
Kan retten laves glutenfri?
Hej Stine
Du kan sagtens undlades melet på kyllingen – uden problemer 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Jeg er i tvivl om hvor mange cherrytomater der skal i? Du skriver 2 dss – hvad er det?
Mvh Line
Hej Line
Det er 2 dåser cherry tomater, – køber dem oftest i Føtex 🙂
Kan du ikke finde dem, kan du sagtens bruge hakkede tomater 🙂
Jeg har rettet det i opskriften.
Warm wishes, Dianna
Smagte helt vildt godt.
Hej Ditte
Tusind tak for din besked og den flotte anmeldelse:)
Dbh Dianna
Endnu en fantastisk lækker og smagfuld ret… Du er vildt dygtig og laver så mange lækre retter….tak
Hej Vivi
Det er jeg virkelig glad for at høre, tusind tak for din dejlige besked 🙂
