Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté the minced garlic until it’s wonderfully fragrant.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and brown on both sides, approximately 4-5 minutes each side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour in the chicken broth, using a spatula to scrape the bottom and deglaze the pan.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Bring everything to a gentle simmer and mix in the Parmesan cheese until it melds into the sauce beautifully.
- Return the browned chicken breasts back to the skillet. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Adorn your dish with fresh basil for a fragrant finishing touch before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with a blend of half-and-half and flour to thicken. Add spinach or artichokes for extra veggies.
