A simple, one-skillet chicken recipe featuring a rich, creamy sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese, perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Do not let the sauce boil after adding the cheese.
  9. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Heat through for 1 to 2 minutes.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving.

Notes

  • You can serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes.
  • For a richer sauce, substitute half of the chicken broth with dry white wine.
