This irresistible sun-dried tomato chicken recipe combines tender chicken with a creamy, tangy sauce for a comforting and flavorful dish perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release their flavor.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
  7. Place the seared chicken back in the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  8. Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

For a lighter option, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra depth of flavor. Serve with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
