Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Garnish
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same pan, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté briefly until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, ensuring not to burn the garlic.
- Make Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Add grated parmesan and Italian seasoning. Stir and simmer the mixture gently until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan. Coat them thoroughly with the creamy sauce and heat through for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh basil over the chicken for a pop of color and fresh herb aroma. Serve immediately with your choice of side.
Notes
- Serve with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Add chili flakes to the sauce for a slight spicy kick if desired.
