Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.
- Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving. This irresistible chicken is best served immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, you can substitute with roasted red peppers.
- This irresistible chicken pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
