Instructions
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir for about 1 minute to release the flavors.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes until cooked through.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the chicken and sauce, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Chef's Tips
- Chicken Thickness: For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before seasoning.
- Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer a bit longer. If too thick, add a splash of chicken broth.
- Fresh Herbs: Using fresh oregano and thyme can elevate the flavor even more.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
