Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet and let it melt.
Finely chop the garlic cloves. Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Drain and roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Add them to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot. This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, pasta, or rice.
