Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cooking
  1. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 7–8 minutes per side, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  2. Transfer the chicken to a plate, leaving the browned bits in the skillet.
Sauce and Serving
  1. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and maintain a gentle simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Place the chicken breasts back in the skillet and simmer gently until evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
  4. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

Keep the cream sauce at a gentle simmer to help it remain smooth.
