Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Chop the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for easy cooking.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sautรฉ for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sautรฉ for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Notes

For best results, ensure the chicken is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Donโ€™t rush the simmer to obtain a thick, creamy texture.
