Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Simple Dinner Delight
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, chopped)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any bits off the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the creamy sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
