Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add the chicken and sear for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes for about one minute to release their aroma.
- Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and the optional red pepper flakes. Keep simmering until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some sauce over it, and let it simmer for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve alongside pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up that glorious sauce.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
