Ingredients:
For the Chicken
2 tbsp olive oil or other neutral oil
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts approximately 2 ½ to 3 lbs.
salt to taste
For the Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
⅓ c grated fresh parmesan cheese at room temperature
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2-3 cloves garlic minced
½-1 c sun-dried tomatoes
¾ c chicken broth
fresh basil chiffonaded, for garnish
½ c heavy cream at or close to room temperature
Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat it to 190 degrees C or 375 degrees F.
Remove any excess fat from the chicken breasts, then use paper towels to pat them dry.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken breasts, then toss to coat all sides.
Place a cast-iron skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Put the chicken breasts into the hot skillet, then sear each side for about 3 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Move them to a clean plate.
In the same skillet now over medium-low, add the minced garlic and saute for about a minute or just until aromatic.
Pour in the broth, then scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
Add the heavy cream and stir until well blended.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted completely.
Put it back on the stove, then stir and cook for another minute.
Stir in the red pepper flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, and dried oregano until well incorporated. Let it simmer.
Put the chicken breasts back into the skillet, then toss to coat both sides.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for about 12 to 15 minutes or until done.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Make sure to spoon the delicious sauce over.
Serve and enjoy!
