Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Generously season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts once the oil is hot.
- Sear the chicken until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Toss in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir until well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until fully cooked and the sauce thickens.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
For a healthier option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half. Tweak flavors by adding mushrooms or red pepper flakes for heat.
