Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking the chicken
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped In oil is best
  • 1 cup heavy cream For the sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning
  • as needed Fresh basil For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly, then season with more salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if needed.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over each breast. Cook for another minute or two to let everything meld together.
  5. Turn off the heat, garnish with fresh basil, and serve hot, maybe over some pasta or rice!

Notes

For a healthier twist, substitute chicken breasts with thighs; adjust cooking time as needed. Consider using half and half for a lighter sauce version. Add red pepper flakes for some spice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
