Prepare tender chicken breasts coated in a rich, creamy sauce featuring sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. This recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Do not boil after adding cheese.
  8. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  9. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to heat the chicken through. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar instead of plain olive oil for searing.
  • Serve this chicken over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
  • You can pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking for faster, more uniform results.
