A creamy, flavorful dish perfect for cozy dinners or romantic evenings, featuring chicken breasts in a luscious sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thin sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup unsalted chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chopped sundried tomatoes (drained)
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Fresh chopped basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Season each chicken breast generously on both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Let it melt, then add the minced garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Pour in the chicken stock, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  6. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  7. Return the chicken to the pan, spooning sauce on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

For a lighter dish, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or frozen for up to 3 months.
