Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless
  • skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Fresh basil or parsley
  • chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and using a wooden spoon, scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the creamy sauce for an additional 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less red pepper flakes. This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta or rice.
