Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your amazing Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
5. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
6. Pour in Broth and Cream: Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
7. Return Chicken to the Skillet: Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow it to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat, and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
10. Serve: Plate the chicken and drizzle with the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce.
