½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained and chopped
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate all those tasty bits.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the pan, spooning the creamy sauce over it. Allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Stir in the fresh basil, adjusting the seasoning if needed.
Serve the chicken drizzled with the sauce, garnished with additional basil and Parmesan.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
