Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup Heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • cup Sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Grater
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken, sprinkle with kosher salt and ground black pepper, and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes each. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the chicken broth to the same skillet, bringing it to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and all-purpose flour. Slowly pour into the simmering broth while whisking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add in the dried oregano, dried basil, dried rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine, then fold in half of the grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet along with the sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top and allow to simmer for 5 more minutes.
  5. Once done, remove from heat and serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Bring Cream to Room Temperature: Make sure to bring the cream to room temperature so it doesn’t curdle!
  • Sun-dried Tomatoes: Sun-dried tomatoes can be found dry or packed in oil. Both work in this recipe.
  • Oil-Packed Tomatoes: If using oil-packed tomatoes, consider using some of the oil to cook the chicken for added flavor.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut cream and vegan Parmesan cheese for a dairy-free version.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free all-purpose flour to make this dish gluten-free.
  • Optional Garnishes: Fresh basil or additional Parmesan cheese make great garnishes.
