Description

Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken is a quick yet indulgent meal that delivers bold flavor with minimal effort. Juicy, pan-seared chicken breasts are simmered in a velvety sauce made from garlic, Parmesan, and cream, then enhanced by the tangy sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinner guests, and pairs wonderfully with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a slice of warm bread.

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic minced

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped

1/2 cup chicken broth

3/4 cup heavy cream

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Pound to even thickness if needed.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

3. In the same pan, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits. Simmer for 2 minutes.

5. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan. Let simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over top, and simmer for another 3–4 minutes.

7. Turn off heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

Pairs well with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread. For a lighter option, serve with roasted vegetables or cauliflower rice.
