Equipment
- 1 large skillet non-stick preferred
- 1 whisk
- 1 tongs
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese, whisking until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Return chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is submerged in the sauce. Add sun-dried tomatoes and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Serve hot with preferred sides.
Serving and Storage
- Pair with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Consider a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid curdling the sauce.
