1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then return the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Notes
Ensure you pound the chicken to an even thickness to guarantee uniform cooking times. Serve this dish over zucchini noodles or with a side of steamed broccoli to keep the meal perfectly keto-compliant.
