Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
Step 8
Simmer the chicken in the sauce for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.
Step 9
Sprinkle the chopped basil over the top before serving.
Step 10
Serve the chicken with the creamy sauce over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Enjoy!
