Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the top, and let simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving. Serve the chicken with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

Notes

For a lower-fat version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or a lighter cream alternative.
If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use roasted red peppers or fresh tomatoes as an alternative.

This recipe is great for meal prep – just store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
