Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of oregano.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add chicken broth and sun-dried tomatoes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil and serve with pasta, rice, or a side of vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and oregano for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Substitute chicken thighs if preferred.
