Main Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts Use boneless, skinless for easier cooking.
1 cup heavy cream This adds richness to the sauce.
1 cup chicken broth Choose low-sodium for better flavor control.
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes Opt for oil-packed for extra taste.
1 cup parmesan cheese Grate fresh for the best melting experience.
3 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic gives great flavor.

Method

Cooking Steps

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat.
Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream; stir to combine.
Add Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese; stir until melted.
Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until cooked through.
Serve over pasta or rice, and top with fresh basil.

Notes

For best results, do not rush the browning of the chicken; this adds flavor. Adjust seasonings as needed for taste. For added freshness, consider squeezing a little lemon juice after cooking.
