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