Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Step 7
Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them in the sauce.
Step 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your low-carb Marry Me Chicken!
