Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or avocado oil
  • 3 chicken breast cutlets, boneless, skinless

For the Chicken Seasoning:

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

For the Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce:

  • 3 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • ¾ cup chicken broth , or dry white wine
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated

For Garnish:

  • fresh herbs, I like basil, rosemary, oregano or parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Sear the chicken:
    Add oil to a non-stick, large skillet or cast iron skillet and heat on medium-high heat.
  • To a small bowl, add chicken seasoning ingredients; salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and crushed chili flakes. Stir to combine.
  • Pat the boneless skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels, and season both sides of the chicken breast with the seasoning mixture.
  • Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the hot oil and sear for 3-4 minutes each side, until a golden brown crust begins to form. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside to rest.
  • Make the sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Do not clean the skillet.
  • Add minced garlic to the hot skillet and sauté for 30 seconds. Do not allow to burn.
  • Pour in chicken stock (or wine) to deglaze the pan. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan and release the browned bits or chicken stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the heavy cream and stir to incorporate. Then, add parmesan cheese and chopped sundried tomatoes. Stir to combine.
  • Bake the chicken: If using an oven-safe skillet, return chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. If you do not have an oven safe skillet, place chicken breasts in a greased casserole dish, and pour the sauce over top.
  • Place skillet or casserole dish in preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve warm.
