Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add minced garlic to the same skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
