Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup chicken broth

- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Sauté for about a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is coated well in the creamy sauce.

Notes
For a lighter option, swap heavy cream with Greek yogurt. This dish pairs beautifully with crispy white wine.
