Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestle it into the sauce.
  9. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  10. Stir in fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
  • Ensure the sauce simmers gently to avoid breaking.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
