  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
  • Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and heavy cream. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it in the sauce. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate. The chicken will last for up to 3 days in the fridge. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in Italian dressing before cooking. You can add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for more nutrients and flavor.
