Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (grated)
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/3 tsp chili flakes
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan
- 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
Instructions
- Start by patting the chicken breasts dry and generously season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In that same skillet, add the grated garlic and sauté it until it’s golden and fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, thyme, oregano, parmesan, and chili flakes. Mix everything together thoroughly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s covered by the sauce. Allow it to simmer on medium-low heat for an additional 10 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving for that final touch of flavor and color.
Notes
This dish can be paired with creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh salad. Avoid boiling the sauce when reheating to maintain its creaminess.
