Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • for garnish fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet, cooking for about 6-8 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, and Italian herbs. Stir well, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. Let simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve the chicken topped with the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce and fresh basil.
