Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- Chiffonaded fresh basil
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese until melted and well-combined.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet and add the sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in Italian herbs before cooking. Substitute with skin-on chicken thighs for more flavor or opt for a non-dairy cream for a vegan option.
