Description
A cozy comfort dish that is easy to prepare and brings loved ones together with its rich flavors and beautiful presentation.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Create the sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add flavors: Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, and oregano. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Combine chicken and sauce: Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and let it simmer in the sauce for another 10 minutes.
- Serve and garnish: Once cooked through, serve the chicken topped with the creamy sauce and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
Ensure chicken breasts are of equal thickness for even cooking. This recipe can be prepped ahead of time.
