Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Deglaze with chicken broth, scraping up the tasty bits from the bottom. Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Combine: Return chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the breasts. Let simmer until the chicken is thoroughly heated through.
Serve: Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot. Delight in every creamy, dreamy bite!

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a splash of white wine to the sauce when adding the chicken broth.
This dish pairs beautifully with garlic mashed potatoes or a simple arugula salad.
