Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts or substitute with chicken thighs for richer flavor.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil consider using oil from sun-dried tomatoes for added flavor.
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth opt for low-sodium to control saltiness.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream essential for a rich, creamy texture.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated, can substitute with Pecorino Romano.
  • ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes chopped, preferably oil-packed.
  • 4 cloves Garlic fresh, minced.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add 4 chicken breasts and sear for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown with an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add 4 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 1 minute. Deglaze with 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping up brown bits. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup grated Parmesan, and ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  3. Return seared chicken to the skillet, nestling into the sauce. Spoon sauce over chicken and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until heated through and sauce coats chicken.
  4. Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.
