Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (preferably oil-packed)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
  3. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen browned bits. Add heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently until the sauce thickens to a velvety consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sun-dried tomato garlic sauce over them. Let simmer gently for 3-5 minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavors and the sauce thickens perfectly.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs and Serve: Stir in freshly chopped basil or parsley for color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use quality oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for deeper flavor and tenderness.
  • Cook chicken just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to keep it juicy.
  • Freshly grate Parmesan cheese for best melting and rich flavor.
  • Simmer sauce over low heat to avoid curdling and maintain a smooth texture.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to preserve their vibrant color and aroma.
