Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless (about 2 pounds or 900 grams)
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped (56g)
¼ cup fresh basil leaves finely chopped (about 0.5 ounces or 15 grams)
2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)
3 cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon or 15ml)
½ cup chicken broth (120ml)
¼ cup heavy cream (60ml)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces or 56 grams)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and nearly cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
Just before serving, sprinkle the finely chopped basil over the chicken and sauce.
Serve the chicken breasts hot, drizzled with the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete low-carb meal.
