Ingredients
  

  • For the Chicken:
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise) or 4 small breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • For the Creamy Sauce:
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup sundried tomatoes chopped (drained if packed in oil)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice for brightness
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil or parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Chicken:
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/75°C). Remove and set aside.
  • Make the Sauce:
  • In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add sundried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
  • Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in Parmesan cheese and lemon juice, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Combine And Serve:
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes to meld flavors.
  • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.

Notes

  • Make It Lighter: Swap heavy cream for half-and-half or coconut milk.
  • Extra Flavor Boost: Add chopped spinach or mushrooms to the sauce.
  • Storage And Reheating: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed.
  • Wine Option: Substitute ¼ cup white wine for part of the chicken broth for an extra depth of flavor.
