Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth or stock
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the broth to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
