Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped (preferably oil-packed)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper to ensure a golden crust and juicy interior.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook about 5 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Sun Dried Tomatoes: Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped sun dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
  4. Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in chicken broth and scrape the browned bits from the skillet for extra flavor. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Return Chicken to Skillet and Simmer: Place the seared chicken breasts back in the skillet with the sauce. Spoon sauce over the chicken and simmer for a few minutes to meld flavors and finish cooking.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh basil or parsley on top before serving to add brightness and fresh herbal notes.

Notes

  • Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for uniform cooking and juiciness.
  • Use oil-packed sun dried tomatoes for richer flavor and softer texture.
  • Allow the sauce to simmer gently for best creamy consistency.
  • Don’t skip scraping the skillet to deglaze with broth for deep flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper at the end to avoid over-seasoning.
