Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)
Preparation
Season and Cook Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove chicken and set aside.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Combine Chicken and Sauce:
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well coated and heated through.
Serve:
Serve the chicken with the creamy sauce. It pairs well with pasta, rice, or bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
