Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts thin-cut or sliced in half
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped, for serving

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear the chicken 5 to 6 minutes per side, until golden. Move it to a plate.
  3. Lower the heat to medium. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits. Stir in the cream, Parmesan and Italian seasoning.
  5. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens. Return the chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over the top.
  6. Cook 5 more minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F. Sprinkle with basil and serve.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, replace half of the cream with whole milk.
