Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), chopped
½ cup chicken broth
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
1. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden on both sides, 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. Lower heat to medium. Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and cook another minute.
4. Deglaze with chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
5. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Add parmesan, thyme, and rosemary. Stir until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly.
7. Return chicken to skillet. Spoon sauce over and simmer on low for 5–7 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
8. Let rest a few minutes off heat before serving.
Notes
Pound the chicken for even cooking and faster searing.
Don’t skip deglazing—those brown bits deepen the flavor.
Add a splash of cream or broth when reheating to keep the sauce silky.
