Instructions
Creating Irresistible Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Parmesan Chicken is as simple as following these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
5. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Cook for an additional minute.
6. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
7. Incorporate Parmesan: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Return Chicken to Skillet: Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
9. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that’s not only visually appealing but also packed with flavor.
