Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- Chiffonaded fresh basil
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Begin by generously seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté garlic: Reduce the heat slightly, then add minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
- Deglaze the pan: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Make the sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and well-combined.
- Combine everything: Return the seared chicken to the skillet and add the sun-dried tomatoes. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Notes
For best results, use fresh garlic and don’t skip deglazing the skillet. Feel free to add a splash more chicken broth if the sauce is too thick.
