Total Time:30 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and sear until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook briefly.
Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release browned bits.
Add heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top.
Simmer for about 5 minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavors.
Garnish with chopped basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
Boneless chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts for a juicier result.
Add spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
If the sauce thickens too much, stir in a splash of chicken broth or cream.
