Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the mixture, shaking off the excess.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

  5. 5

    Add garlic to the skillet, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  6. 6

    Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top.

  8. 8

    Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Serve hot.
