Ingredients
1.5 lbs Chicken Breast
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 cup Heavy Cream
3 tbsp Butter
1/2 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes, oil-packed and chopped
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
Season the chicken generously on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides.
Sear the chicken breasts for five minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
Reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the same pan, sautéing for 60 seconds.
Pour the heavy cream into the pan, scraping the bottom to deglaze the residue.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.
Return the chicken to the pan and coat thoroughly in the sauce before serving.
Notes
Ensure you pound the chicken to an even thickness to guarantee consistent cooking times. Scrape the pan thoroughly when adding the cream to incorporate the flavorful browned bits. Serve alongside fresh steamed asparagus or cauliflower mash to keep it keto-friendly.
