Units
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook in the skillet until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it in the creamy sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
- Serve with pasta, rice, or vegetables to complement the dish.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
- If you prefer a stronger tomato flavor, add more sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce.
