Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to ½-inch thickness
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Sear chicken breasts in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add shallots and garlic; sauté until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and chicken broth; stir and let simmer for 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and simmer for another 3 minutes to blend flavors.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
- Pounding the chicken breasts ensures even cooking and tender texture.
- Substitute avocado oil for olive oil if preferred.
- You can use yellow onion instead of shallots if needed.
- Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to enjoy the creamy sauce.
