Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 1/2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 3 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 teaspoon Garlic ((minced))
- 3 Tablespoon Flour
- 1 Cup Chicken Broth
- 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan ((grated))
- 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes ((drained))
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning ((dried))
- Fresh Basil ((for garnish))
Instruction
- Slice the chicken breasts thinner to help them cook evenly. You can even pound the chicken thinner using a mallet if needed.
- Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on both sides until the chicken is mostly cooked through. It will continue to fully cook later.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, and set it aside while you make the sauce.
- Return to the same skillet, and add the butter. Once it is melted, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until it's fragrant. Add in the flour and stir to make a paste.
- Whisk in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese.
- Stir in the drained sun-dried tomatoes and Italian Seasoning. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Simmer the sauce for a few minutes for it to thicken.
- Return the chicken back to skillet and layer on top of the sauce.
- Turn the heat to medium low, and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta or rice.
