Equipment

  • Large skillet or sauté pan
  • Tongs or spatula for flipping the chicken
  • Cutting board and knife for chopping garlic and sun-dried tomatoes
  • Wooden spoon for stirring

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • Make the Sauce:
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Add the Parmesan:
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and basil. Continue to cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  • Return the Chicken:
  • Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet with the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and let everything simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • Serve:
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve the creamy chicken with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
