Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the Italian seasoning and optional red pepper flakes. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Incorporate the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it’s all combined and creamy.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s immersed in the sauce. Cover and let it simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
For best results, do not overcrowd the skillet when searing the chicken to ensure better browning.
