Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the diced onions and minced garlic. Cook until they’re soft and fragrant—about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Season them with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brown the chicken on both sides for about 5-7 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Once the chicken is golden brown, pour in the chicken broth. Bring it to a gentle simmer and let it cook for another 10 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to mingle.
  3. Toss in the fresh basil leaves and stir well.
Serving
  1. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top and serve it with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.

Notes

For best results, let the chicken brown nicely before flipping for enhanced flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
