Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
Simmer the chicken in the sauce for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.
Sprinkle the chopped basil over the top before serving.
Serve the chicken with the creamy sauce over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Enjoy!
