Prepare dredge mixture: combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Dredge chicken in the flour mixture for a light breading.

Heat skillet until hot, then add chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes without checking.

Check edges of chicken; when they turn white, it's time to flip.

Add brandy to the pan and stand back; let steam die down and alcohol burn off.

Add 1/4 cup chicken stock to deglaze the pan.

Add onion mixture, sundried tomatoes, and a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce.

Lower heat to medium and let sauce reduce until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
