Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper to ensure they are full of flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts until they are golden brown on both sides (about 5-7 minutes per side). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about a minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir until everything is well combined, creating a rich and flavorful sauce.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Let them simmer in the sauce for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
- Once cooked, garnish the dish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
Notes
You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version. Fresh herbs like thyme or oregano can enhance the dish further.
