A creamy, savory chicken dish with sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan that cooks in one skillet, making a rich sauce loved by many.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon chicken flavor Better Than Bouillon (or 1 chicken bouillon cube)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 (7-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
  • Cooked pasta or mashed potatoes (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with 1 tsp salt. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, cooking undisturbed until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic to the skillet, and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Stir in heavy cream, chicken stock, bouillon, 1/4 cup Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and remaining salt. Whisk until smooth and combined.
  3. Return chicken to the skillet and nestle into the sauce. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until sauce thickens slightly and chicken reaches 165 degrees F (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat, top with fresh basil and remaining Parmesan. Serve over pasta or mashed potatoes if desired.

Notes

Dry the chicken well before searing for a better crust. Do not crowd the pan; sear in batches if needed. Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper before serving.
