Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the pan.
Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and thyme. Stir to combine and let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for another 5 minutes until the chicken is heated through and coated in sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot.

Notes

This dish pairs well with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a side of roasted vegetables.
You can substitute chicken thighs if preferred.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
