Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them in the sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your low-carb Marry Me Chicken!
