Ingredients
1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
0.5 cup Freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup Heavy cream
0.3 cup Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, minced
3 cloves Garlic, minced
0.5 cup Salt-free chicken broth
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Season both sides of the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for one minute.
Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up all browned bits.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and heavy cream, stirring continuously.
Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth.
Return the chicken to the skillet, coating each piece thoroughly with the cream sauce.
Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is pounded to an even thickness to guarantee uniform cooking times. Use high-quality parmesan, block-grated fresh, to achieve the creamiest sauce texture without clumping. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
