Directions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to warm the chicken and meld flavors.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
