Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in oil, drained)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

  1. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Combine & Simmer

  1. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it.
  2. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) internally.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
  2. Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Lighter Option: Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Extra Flavor: Add mushrooms or spinach to the sauce.
  • Make it Spicy: Increase red pepper flakes or add hot sauce.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
