Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and thyme. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Can be made with chicken thighs for a juicier option.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
