Description
This creamy sun-dried tomato chicken dish combines tender chicken breasts with a rich, flavorful sauce. Perfect for a delicious and healthy meal that’s easy to make!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (for a dairy-free option)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream) and grated Parmesan cheese. Add Italian seasoning and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve hot.
Notes
This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables. Use coconut cream for a dairy-free option!
