Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb total)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear in olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side until golden. Remove to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Cook garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 30 seconds. Add cream, broth, parmesan, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes, scraping the pan.
  3. Nestle chicken into the sauce and spoon some over each piece. Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and sauce is thick and bubbly.
  4. Rest 3 minutes outside the oven. Spoon more sauce over the chicken, top with torn basil, and serve hot.

Notes

The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. If you have leftovers, reheat them gently with a splash of chicken broth to bring the cream back to life.
