Instructions
- Season the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Finish cooking: Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
- Use thin chicken breasts or pound them evenly for quicker cooking.
- Serve with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
