Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sear about 5 minutes per side until browned.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Pour the mixture over the chicken in the skillet, then add the sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and serve.

Notes

Getting a good sear on the chicken builds most of the flavor, so don't rush it or crowd the pan. Serve with garlic bread, mashed potatoes, or pasta to soak up the sauce. Add spinach or mushrooms for extra texture. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days and reheat gently so the sauce doesn't separate.
