Serving Size 3

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 3 Large Chicken Breasts
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 3/4 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/3 cup Sundried Tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Fresh Basil
  • Sea salt and cracked pepper

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a large oven-safe skillet heat oil over medium-high heat.  Season chicken generously with salt and pepper and sear until golden, about 4-5 minutes per side.  Transfer chicken to a plate. 
  • 2. Return skillet to medium heat.  Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in thyme, red pepper flakes, chicken broth, and heavy cream.  Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.  Stir in sundried tomatoes and parmesan cheese.  3. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce all over the chicken breasts.  Bake until chicken is cooked through -- about 15-18 minutes.  Garnish with basil and grated parmesan cheese, if so desired. 

Notes

David's Tips for Success

  • Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for faster, more even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking — 165°F is the magic number.
  • Want it saucier? Add an extra ¼ cup of broth and 2 tablespoons of cream before baking.
