Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts thinner to help them cook evenly. You can even pound the chicken thinner using a mallet if needed.

Step 2

Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on both sides until the chicken is mostly cooked through. It will continue to fully cook later.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, and set it aside while you make the sauce.

Step 5

Return to the same skillet, and add the butter. Once it is melted, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until it's fragrant. Add in the flour and stir to make a paste.

Step 6

Whisk in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Stir in the drained sun-dried tomatoes and Italian Seasoning. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Simmer the sauce for a few minutes for it to thicken.

Step 9

Return the chicken back to skillet and layer on top of the sauce.

Step 10

Turn the heat to medium low, and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta or rice.
