Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some sauce over them, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Sprinkle the dish with fresh chopped basil just before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot alongside pasta, rice, or a crusty piece of bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
