minutesIngredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the dried basil, oregano, and thyme, and cook for a few more seconds.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
