A quick and easy one-pan chicken dish simmered in a creamy garlic parmesan sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for weeknight dinners that feel comforting and special.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (preferably packed in oil)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. (5 minutes)
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside. (10 minutes)
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil if needed, then add minced garlic. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute to release their flavor. (2 minutes)
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the skillet. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. (3 minutes)
  6. Stir in heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Stir gently until cheese melts and sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. (5 minutes)
  7. Return chicken breasts to the pan, nestle into the sauce, spoon sauce over the top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). (10 minutes)
  8. Remove lid, stir sauce if needed. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately. (2 minutes)

Notes

If sauce gets too thick, stir in a splash more broth or cream to loosen. Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking. Use medium heat for garlic to avoid burning. Check chicken doneness with a thermometer (165°F). For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and parmesan with nutritional yeast.
