Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a lighter option)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup fresh basil or parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side).
- Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. Sauté minced garlic in the same pan until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add sun-dried tomatoes.
- Pour in heavy cream and sprinkle Italian seasoning into the pan, stirring well while scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
