Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups fresh tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, basil, and oregano to the skillet. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese into the tomato mixture. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour the creamy tomato sauce over the chicken breasts on the serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
