🍗 Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
– ½ cup chicken broth
– ¾ cup heavy cream
– ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
– ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), drained and chopped
– 1 tsp Italian seasoning
– Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prep the Chicken
Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Build the Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
4. Create Creamy Magic
Stir in heavy cream, parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Finish the Chicken
Return the seared chicken to the pan, nestling it into the sauce. Simmer for another 7–10 minutes on low heat until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
6. Garnish and Serve
Top with freshly chopped basil or parsley. Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or even a warm, crusty bread to soak up every last drop. 🍞
💡 Pro Tip: Want extra depth of flavor? Add a splash of white wine during the sauce step or a squeeze of lemon at the end to brighten the dish.
