Method

  1. Cut the chicken breast into small cubes (approximately 1000 g) and place them in a glass dish.

  2. Season the chicken cubes with salt, chili flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil; mix by hand until the seasoning coats the pieces evenly and the color changes.

  3. Place the seasoned chicken pieces in a pan with melted butter over medium heat; arrange them in a single layer.

  4. Cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.

  5. Lower the heat and add an extra pat of butter to the pan.

  6. Drizzle honey over the chicken and butter, then add fresh parsley; stir until the chicken is glossy and juicy.

  7. In the same pan, add minced garlic and sun‑dried tomatoes; sauté for about 3 minutes.

  8. Stir in Italian herbs, a pinch of salt, low‑fat milk, light cream cheese, and grated parmesan with its rind; continue stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly creamy.

  9. Return the chicken to the pan, toss to coat with the sauce, and serve hot.
