Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in oil, drained)

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  2. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

  3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and stir, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

  4. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.

  5. Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, then let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens and becomes creamy.

  6. Combine Chicken with Sauce: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.

  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
