Instructions
Creating Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to achieve a flavorful dish:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add Tomatoes and Herbs: Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, and oregano, cooking for another 2 minutes.
6. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
7. Incorporate Cream: Add the heavy cream and stir until the sauce is well combined. Allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes.
8. Return Chicken to the Skillet: Place the chicken back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
9. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving.
